Our Mission The Tech Museum of Innovation is an educational resource established to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in exploring and experiencing technologies affecting their lives, and to inspire
the
young
to
become
innovators
in
the
technologies
of
the
future.
About
Us
The
Tech
Museum
of
Innovation
engages
people
of
all
ages
and
backgrounds
in
exploring
and
experiencing
the
technologies
affecting
their
lives,
and
aims
to
inspire
the
innovator
in
everyone.
An
expansive
variety
of
interactive
exhibits
and
unique
floor
programs
showcase
not
just
how
technology
works,
but
how
it
affects
who
we
are
and
how
we
live,
work,
play
and
learn.
The
Tech's
132,
000
square
feet
are
divided
among
themed
galleries
focused
on
innovation,
the
internet,
the
human
body,
and
exploration.
In
addition,
The
Tech
also
features
the
Hackworth
IMAX
Dome
Theater
(Northern
California's
only
domed
IMAX
screen),
an
educational
center
for
workshops
and
labs,
an
up
scale
cafe,
and
a
retail
store
featuring
books,
gifts,
and
only-in-Silicon
Valley
items.
Annually,
The
Tech
plays
host
to
roughly
400,
000
guests
-
80,
000
of
whom
visit
as
part
of
a
school
field
trip
-
making
it
one
of
California's
most
popular
destinations.
The
Tech
is
more
than
just
a
museum.
Signature
programs
include
Tech
Challenge,
an
annual
student
design
competition
founded
in
1988,
and
The
Tech
Museum
Awards,
which
honors
and
awards
people
around
the
world
who
use
technology
to
benefit
humanity.
Additionally,
The
Tech
offers
award-winning
online
exhibits,
and
the
Robert
N.
Noyce
Center
for
Learning,
which
encourages
innovation
and
experimentation
among
teachers
and
students.
History
The
Tech
began
as
a
dream.
In
1978,
members
of
the
Junior
League
of
Palo
Alto,
later
joined
by
the
San
Jose
League,
envisioned
an
exciting
learning
center
devoted
to
science
and
technology
in
the
heart
of
Silicon
Valley.
The
vision
for
The
Tech
was
realized
in
1990
when
a
20,
000-square-foot
temporary
test
facility
was
opened
in
the
old
convention
center
on
San
Carlos
Street.
Since
then,
The
Tech
has
fine-tuned
its
mission
of
engaging
people
of
all
ages
in
the
technologies
that
affect
their
daily
lives
and
has
built
a
reputation
as
a
viable
and
necessary
educational
resource
in
the
area
of
science
and
technology
learning.
It
has
also
become
a
landmark
for
visitors
seeking
a
glimpse
of
the
most
inventive
place
on
Earth
and
a
showcase
of
the
latest
high-tech
gizmos
and
gadgets
that
continue
to
define
Silicon
Valley.
Since
the
prototype
Tech
opened,
4,
000,
000
visitors
from
all
over
the
world
have
enjoyed
a
one-of-a-kind,
up
close
view
of
the
spirit
of
innovation.
