DescriptionThe Tech Museum operates a 130,000 square foot exhibition facility with seven permanent galleries. Each year, this space welcomes a total of 530,000 visitors from local K-12 schools (120,000) and the general public (410,000) to engage in science and technology experiences that educate, inform, provoke thought, and inspire action. The museum offers not only more than 200 interactive exhibits, but also 10 hands-on science labs, weekend programs, after-school activities, and standards-based educational IMAX films. Additionally, The Tech Museum hosts two annual signature programs: (1) The Tech Challenge- A team competition that inspires 1,000+ students in grades 5 through 12 to design and build devices that solve a real-world problem (such as the garbage gyre in the North Pacific), and (2) The Tech Awards - An international program that identifies and honors technological solutions to humanity's most pressing problems. Every year, The Tech Awards program receives over 700 nominations of individuals and organizations from 70+ countries, and announces winners in five categories at an annual awards gala, which has become a major Silicon Valley event.Description

DescriptionThe Tech Museum offers an array of standards-based science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education programs, including labs, summer camps, bilingual weekend workshops, after-school programs, and The Tech Challenge program. Making up The Tech Museum's Year-Round Second Classroom, our labs, camps, workshops, and programs are aligned with California's STEM education standards. They also use design challenge learning strategies, whereby students explore real-world problems in depth, and then work together in teams that follow scientific and engineering methods to prototype solutions. The Tech Challenge likewise offers design challenge learning that complies with California STEM standards. This signature program invites teams of students in grades 5-12 to design, build, document, test, and present a solution to a real-world problem. For the past 24 years, The Tech Challenge has reached out to different ethnic and socioeconomic communities to introduce students not only to STEM concepts, but also to the thrill of hands-on learning and real-world design.Description
