The Tech Interactive

Organization Description

Our mission is to inspire the innovator in everyone. We are committed to creating learning experiences that empower young folks to innovate with creativity, curiosity, and compassion. We believe that technology is leading and transforming lives all over the world and we want to help develop the next generation of problem-solvers.

Program Information

Come support our mission to inspire the innovator in everyone in our leading science and technology center in downtown San Jose. Students can work in the exhibit galleries facilitating STEM hands-on activities with visitors while stationed at fun Pop-Ups, Jetpack Chair, or our Social Robots or Anatomage exhibits. Or if you prefer general public facing work as a museum greeter, you can help welcome and orient guests in the lobby area, support wayfinding for visitors, or check tickets as well as usher for the IMAX dome theater.
