Abstract
In his visionary ideas Tesla was so far ahead of his time. Somebody said that Tesla was working on "inventing the future". He was a pioneer in many fields, but commonly misunderstood. His work paved the way for widespread electrification and information technology, and forever changed our lives. Still, Nikola Tesla reminded the great forgotten genius through the history of science in most parts of the world, with his name usually unknown, even among scientists. We do not discuss the reasons for this great injustice. We discuss one of the ways to pass Tesla\´s legacy on to the next generation: the freshman course about Nikola Tesla and his inventions offered for the first time ever at the University of California at Berkeley
