Ashley Redfearn, CEO of American Paradigm Schools, joined the Tesla Science Foundation on Jan. 13 for its 12th annual Tesla Spirit Conference and Award ceremony, where she hosted a discussion on the Nikola Tesla Clubs, Life and Work.
As the executive director and director of education for TSF, Redfearn led the conversation on the impact of Tesla Clubs in schools throughout the United States. APS is a long-standing partner of TSF, with all four of its schools involved in the “Introducing Tesla to Schools in America” project, educating students around the world on the knowledge of Nikola Tesla and his work, through art, music and science.
APS’ Tacony Academy continues to lead the way in S.T.E.A.M. education as the first school in the U.S. to utilize the Tesla curriculum.
“At both APS and TSF, we’re dedicated to promoting Tesla’s legacy through education and innovation — it’s a responsibility we take seriously,” Redfearn said. “Being involved in this movement by integrating Tesla’s principles into modern education and helping to shape the minds of our future innovators fills me with a deep sense of purpose, and it was an honor to host a panel at this year’s esteemed conference in New York City.”
