Take your family for an interactive adventure:  hands-on activities, labs, Imax Dome Theater, fun exhibits -- Teh Tech Innovation has it ALL!

The Tech Interactive (formerly The Tech Museum of Innovation, commonly known as The Tech) is a science and technology center that offers hands-on activities, labs, design challenges and other STEAM education resources. It is located in downtown San Jose, California, adjacent to the Plaza de César Chávez.

The mission of the Tech is to inspire the innovator in everyone.  This is a wonderful resource for SF Bay Area residents.

The building has a distinctive mango and azure color, and has three floors. On the lower level there is a complex multi-story sculpture titled Origin, inside a 45-foot-tall cylindrical tower. The artwork portrays relationships among art, technology, and natural resources of the earth. Near the entrance to the building, there is Science on a Roll, a popular rolling ball sculpture by George Rhoads. The front wall is inscribed with quotations from iconic Silicon Valley entrepreneurs Bill Hewlett, David Packard, Bob Noyce, and Gordon Moore. The building was designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.

The IMAX Dome Theater, opened in 1998 and upgraded since then, shows mainstream movies as well as educational films. It is Northern California's only domed IMAX theater and has the first dome laser projector in the world, seating up to 280 people

Exhibits include: Social Robots, Body Motion, Space Exploration, Solve for Earth, Cyber Detectives, The Tech Studio, Body Worlds Decoded, The Tech for Global Good, Reboot Reality, Innovations in Healthcare, and Biosdesign Studio.
