The Tech Interactive is a family-friendly science and technology center in the heart of downtown San Jose. It was formerly known as The Tech Museum of Innovation. Our hands-on activities, experimental labs and design challenge experiences empower people to innovate with creativity, curiosity and compassion. The Tech is a world leader in the creation of immersive STEAM education resources to develop the next generation of problem-solvers locally, nationally and globally. We believe that everyone is born an innovator who can change the world for the better.

In 2015 The Tech was awarded the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the highest honor a United States museum, science center or cultural institution can achieve.

We are driven by our mission: to inspire the innovator in everyone.
