Thank you to everyone who participated, cheered or volunteered in The Tech Challenge 2019: No Roads, No Problem!, presented by Dell. It was a spectacular event where The Tech’s mission — inspiring the innovator in everyone — took center stage. Check out our video recap!
Come help us inspire the innovator in everyone. The Tech is seeking adults 18 and older to volunteer for weekday shifts in the morning and afternoon. If you have a passion for education, community, and working with other wonderful volunteers, then The Tech is the perfect place for you!
Get your hands on cutting edge biotechnology in our newest activity, Making with Microbes, where you’ll experiment with making your own biomaterial. Work together with microbes as you make your own mix of food to help these tiny organisms manufacture a material with the consistency and color you’d like. In an experience you'll find only at The Tech, get ready to engineer this colorful, biomaterial that might feel like rough leather, or sticky cellophane, or even paper!
A membership to The Tech says science and education matter. Sure, you'll get great perks like unlimited visits and discounts at the store and cafe, but did you also know that your membership supports free field trips for Title I schools, sensory friendly hours and professional training for local teachers? Simply put, our members are the driving force behind our mission to make engaging, hands-on STEM education accessible to everyone.
Spend summer at The Tech. Campers entering Grades 4-8 choose from 18 hands-on classes in science, technology, engineering and design, including brand new explorations into graphic design and environmental engineering, all right here at The Tech. Explore the full class list and sign up for both an AM and a PM class in the same week to save $80 per week of camp.
Thanks to unwavering support from staff, volunteers, donors and patrons, The Tech has grown to be far more than a museum. It is a valued community resource for education and innovation, one that in 2015 was awarded the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the highest honor a United States museum can achieve.
A year-round program of exhibits, education programs and special events that inspire the next generation to use technology to tackle global challenges. The theme for The Tech for Global Good’s second year is Technology and Sustainability, and an exhibit featuring five innovative organizations in this field can be seen on the Upper Level.
Congratulations to the nearly 2,000 students who took part in the 2019 program, No Roads, No Problem!, presented by Dell. See you in 2020!
