We were thrilled to have Micheal Snyder, VP of Tesla Energy & Charging in class this week!
Mr. Snyder gave an insightful and inspiring talk about how Tesla Megapacks are used to stabilize power distbrution in rural and large cities throughout the world. This engaging conversation with our Home Hacker Camp – online robotics & programming students opened eyes to an empowering technology.
He wrapped up the session with an intro to the, very cool and amazing, Tesla Optimus Robot.
We all learned so much. THANK YOU Mr. Snyder!
