Description
The Tech Interactive is a world class science and technology center in the heart of the Silicon Valley that welcomes over 250,000 visitors a year. Visitors are encouraged to explore the 130,000 square feet of hands-on activities, exploratory labs and design challenge experiences as well as interactive exhibits on climate change, robotics, innovations in healthcare, cybersecurity and more. The center is also home to the largest IMAX Dome Theater on the West Coast, offering educational films and the occasional Hollywood blockbuster.
Eight years later, The Tech moved into a dazzling 132,000-square-foot facility with a distinctive mango and azure color scheme and domed theater.
Through programs such as The Tech Challenge, our annual team design competition for youth, and internationally renowned programs such as The Tech Awards, which honors people doing work to benefit humanity, The Tech celebrates the present and encourages the development of innovative technology for a more promising future.
