The Tech Museum is the only museum to offer visitors of all ages the unique comprehensive Silicon Valley experience with hands-on, interactive experiences in genetics, earth sciences, alternative energy, virtual design and microchips and lots more.  Fun and learning combine in the beautiful contemporary museum built by renowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.  The Tech Museum is singularly focused on technology —how it works and the way that it is changing every aspect of the way we work, live, play and learn. Its people-and-technology focus and the integration of advanced technologies into visitor experiences and infrastructure, distinguishes it from other science centers.

The Tech Museum has become a landmark for visitors seeking a glimpse of the most inventive place on Earth.  More than 5,000,000 visitors from all over the world have enjoyed a one-of-a-kind, up close view of Silicon Valley with hands-on, interactive exhibits, workshops, labs, youth programs along with signature programs such as The Tech Challenge, an annual design challenge for Grades 5-12 and The Tech Awards, an international award for technology benefiting humanity.
