Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire the innovator in everyone.
Our vision is that The Tech Museum, in partnership with others, will invigorate innovation and inspire learning locally, nationally and globally.
Background
The future well-being of the United States depends upon continuing innovation in the development and use of advanced technologies. Essential to this progress is linkage between math and science in the classroom and applications of technology in industry and everyday life. There is also a growing need for increased public awareness of the nature and significance of those technologies that are affecting life today and shaping the future.
With its worldwide reputation for technical innovation and economic growth, Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area offer an opportunity to create an informal learning link to industry, the schools and the community to:
- Inspire students and teachers with hands-on exhibits and lab experiences with applications of technology from industry and everyday life.
- Enable local families, individuals, and visitors from here and around the world to discover new insights into technology and the process of innovation through exploratory activities.
