It is located the Plaza de César Chávez in Downtown San Jose.[1] The Tech is considered one of the premier museums of science and technology in the United States.[2] HistoryPlanning began in 1978 by members of the Junior League of Palo Alto and later assistance by the San Jose Junior League. The first {{convert|20000|sqft|adj=on}} temporary exhibit finally opened in 1990 "The Garage" as it was named, opened in San Jose's former convention center. On October 31, 1998, it opened a brand-new {{convert|132000|sqft|adj=on}} facility and has had 4,000,000 visitors.[3] The museum is composed of three floors, each with its own significance. The ground floor includes The Tech Store, The Tech Cafe, the IMAX® Dome Theater and a recreational area that is reserved for special events. The Tech's architecture is the work of Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta.[4] Four major theme galleries fill the Upper Level and Lower Level of the museum: Communication, Exploration, Innovation and Life Tech. These galleries are constantly being revamped and changed to fit the theme movies and exhibits. On the Lower Level there is also a public piece of artwork titled Origin, which is inside a {{convert|45|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} cylinder.[5] The Tech Museum of Innovation reflects its social context, capturing Silicon Valley's celebration of technology with a fascination with what the museum's literature refers to as the "gizmos and gadgets" produced by Valley companies. Early reviews, however, criticized The Tech for failing to provide a coherent direction or message.[6] ExhibitsThe Tech has many exhibits dealing with energy efficiency, customization, exploration and genetics. The Tech Museum of Innovation offers a new approach to viewing galleries from a wide variety of different media. The majority of these exhibits are interactive and allows the viewer to engage in the learning experience. The Tech also has joint partnerships with local attractions, ranging from jazz festivals to the Global Festival of Art. The IMAX Dome Theater [7] shows mainstream movies as well as educational films. It is Northern California's only domed IMAX Theater and can seat up to 280 people.[8] Social robotsThe Tech has an interactive exhibit where people can design and build robots.[9] The Tech StudioThe Tech created an open-to-the-public workshop space where the in-house prototypers build new exhibits.[10] Temporary exhibitionsOn special occasions The Tech will rent out Parkside Hall from the City of San José to host special larger exhibits. In 2007, this hall was the home to the exhibit known as Body Worlds 2, which brought in over 280,000 guests. In winter of 2008, there was a special Leonardo da Vinci exhibit (called Leonardo: 500 Years into the Future) that displayed some of his inventions, findings and pictures. It ended January 25, 2009, after a three-week extension.[11] The Tech formerly hosted Where Science Meets Imagination.[12] The Tech opened a new exhibition on Digital Music in March 2014,[13] called REBOOT:music, including Tim Thompson's Space Palette.[14] The Tech VirtualThe Tech Virtual launched in December 2007. On June 4, 2008, the world's first museum exhibits developed using this open source method opened in the museum's own Virtual Test Zone gallery. The seven exhibits, all contributed under a Creative Commons license and prototyped in the virtual world of Second Life, became part of the museum's Art, Film, Music and Games exhibition. The Virtual Test Zone gallery itself is a prototype exhibit area that will consistently feature virtual-to-real-world exhibits on specific themes resulting from The Tech Virtual programs. ManagementThe Tech is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.[15] The Tech Awards{{main|The Tech Awards}}The Tech Awards is a program of The Tech wherein a yearly ceremony is held for individuals and organizations to get recognition for their technological contributions to improving the human condition. The Tech ChallengeThe Tech Challenge is a signature program of The Tech. It is a design challenge competition for students Grades 5–12.[16] Over the past 26 years, The Tech Challenge had around 17,000 students compete by building devices to solve issues such as wildfires, fish removal and landing on an asteroid.[17] See also{{Commons category}}
