In an inspiring afternoon at Stanford University, Aiden and Eliana Miao, energetic twins from Palo Alto High School, captivated an audience with their seminar on their newly published book, “Everything Tesla: From How They Work to How Fast They Go and All the Fun in Between!” What began as a simple project fueled by their excitement for their Tesla and the environment has blossomed into a vibrant 200-page exploration aimed at educating readers of all ages about electric vehicles and the importance of sustainability.
Simona Onori, a leading expert in battery technology, hosted the event, creating an engaging atmosphere for the discussion. As the Miao twins presented to the members of the Stanford Energy Control Lab, their enthusiasm was palpable. They shared the initial spark of inspiration that ignited their four-year journey, reflecting on how they initially thought the project would take just a few months. However, they quickly learned that crafting a book is a monumental task.
The twins talked about the numerous challenges they faced along the way, including rejections from publishers and countless hours of fact-checking. Each obstacle only fueled their passion further. Starting their project at the tender age of 10, they took on responsibilities far beyond their years, navigating the intricate world of publishing and working closely with editors and designers.
Part of their journey was their collaboration with Onori to discuss her thoughts and feedback related to battery and electrochemistry, ensuring the accuracy of the scientific content in their book. The lab members were fully engaged throughout the seminar, actively participating in the discussion and asking insightful questions. The Miao twins appreciated the interaction, which enriched their presentation and highlighted the collaborative spirit of the event. Their dedication culminated in a heartwarming book signing, where they interacted with attendees, sharing anecdotes and insights. The joy on their faces was a testament to their hard work and commitment to their mission.
The Stanford team expressed gratitude for having such bright young minds visit the lab, noting that the twins’ passion for electric vehicles and the planet is truly inspiring. Their story serves as a reminder of the potential within today’s youth.
With their book now in the hands of eager readers, Aiden and Eliana Miao are not just authors; they are ambassadors for a sustainable future. As they look ahead, the twins remain committed to their mission, hoping to inspire a new generation to embrace the wonders of technology and protect the planet.
