Summary
At the beginning, a movie “Nikola Tesla - Spirit, Work, Vision” was shown by special permission of the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Based on the movie and students’ knowledge about electromagnetism, a discussion was developed in which students actively participated. At the end, experiments with plasma globe were performed. They, in their rudimentary form, were discovered by Nikola Tesla. Students’ interest surpassed our expectations, they participated in the demonstration and the discussion continued after the end of the class, for as long as time permitted.

Thank you so much! We really enjoyed the presentation and your enthusiasm for the topic. You definitely inspired a few to try out some new experiments and look further into the lives of famous inventors!

Hi Fred and Peter,
A HUGE thank you from Dr. Egbert. Friday was a wonderful day of science exploration, history and current energy resources. Even though our classes were small and my students at times provide challenges, they really enjoyed your presentation and many commented on it today, especially talking to those who were away. "you missed out on a cool presentation" "Tesla - no not the car - THE GUY" were over heard today. Thanks for inspiring my students. It was amazing.
