When Tesla was seven years old, his family moved to nearby Karlovac, where his father had been transferred to a new post as an Orthodox priest. It was there that Tesla began to attend elementary school and to develop his love of science.
Tesla was a curious boy and always asked his teachers many questions. He wanted to understand how things worked and how he could improve them. During his classes, Tesla was often distracted because his mind was always wandering in search of new ideas.
One day, Tesla was reprimanded by his teacher for asking too many questions and disrupting the class. This left him discouraged and unmotivated to continue studying in school. His parents noticed his sadness and decided it would be better to educate him at home, where he would have more freedom to follow his curiosity.
It was then that Tesla devoted himself even more to his studies, reading everything he could find on science and mathematics. He also began conducting experiments at home, using simple materials such as cardboard, wire, and batteries. He built models of electric motors and generators, which he tested tirelessly.
This curiosity and love of science was fundamental to Tesla's success as an inventor. He never stopped asking "What if..." and seeking solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems. Gradually, Tesla began to become one of the most brilliant minds of his generation, ready to change the world with his inventions.
