Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Lab Transforming into Global Science Center Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) was awarded the Save America’s Treasures (SAT) grant of $500,000 from the National Parks Service and National Endowment of the Arts that will be used to preserve the laboratory of inventor Nikola Tesla and restore it into a museum and global science center. The $500,000 in funds is critical to ensure the exterior stabilization and restoration of the circa 1901 laboratory building at Wardenclyffe. The structure is an international landmark with historic significance as the only surviving laboratory of science visionary Nikola Tesla; it is recognized as one of the key sites in global technology history for its part in the science, aerospace, telecommunications, and research hub that emerged in the Long Island / New York corridor. Mr. Tesla immigrated to America’s shores and made world-altering discoveries right here in New York. Tesla Science Center is working each day to educate the public and preserve Tesla’s legacy, and these much-needed federal funds will help fulfil that mission.” Read more – LongIsland.com – https://bit.ly/3VhcjZL (TWIAR news) 3. 11+ SCIENCE AND TECH MUSEUMS YOU CAN TOUR VIRTUALLY https://interestingengineering.com/culture/11-science-and-tech-museums-you-can-tour-virtually These virtual tours are a great way of visiting some of the best science and tech museums around the globe. -- Sheldon Harvey, Greenfield Park, Quebec (Radio HF Internet Newsletter) 4.
