We skated in to The Tech Museum, located right in the heart of San Jose, late in the afternoon despite the fact that not one of us had any wheels on our feet. We’re techy folk for sure but we had no idea what this place had in store for us. With all their crazy, technological exhibits, honestly, the whole place made technology and innovation seem new to me; and I’ll be the first to tell you that I ain’t easily impressed.
Since it was afternoon we missed the rush of all the school fieldtrips and it felt like the place was just about shut down for our understandably critical news media review. What can I say, when the Perplexing boys show up on sight, the smart thing to do is clear the place out making way for us. We’re pretty high maintenance and unruly, so I figured at first it had been emptied for our arrival. Turns out that weekdays after 2:00 pm are typically pretty open, but either way, it’s a smart combination of executive decisions above and beyond me.
Did I already mention I’m not easily impressed? Us Perplexing journalists have just about seen it all, but this is by its own declaration a museum of technology and innovation, so they had at least a handful of things up their conspicuously invisible sleeves, and not a single patron of my party was prepared for the many new things we were about to experience.
First off, it bears mention that, while stroller-friendly, The Tech museum is quite gigantamongous, a word I’ve just made up just now to express the size of this place. Seriously, it’s huge! They span a quarter dozen floors and each one is its own world to be journeyed, and I never hesitated to fuss my way out of my stroller to explore it at my own unruly pace. Even if you like vaulted ceilings, you may be caught off guard by these twenty to eighty foot monsters. Toting us guys hither and thither was a workout for the adults, but with a net gain on the line of increased wisdom and awareness, what are they going to do, buckle me down?
Then they buckled me down, but I found my way out soon enough. I’m clever that way, and to think I didn’t even know about innovation until I got here, oh and let me tell you before I forget, check the https://legoventures.com/ site for ideas, and startups centered around playful learning.
Each floor of this place could work you out to the tune of an easy hour or so, assuming you like to run and explore like I do, and this place forces this exploration to the tune of running around and seeing new things. From Bobsleds to human genes to super spy labs to submarines to the very vacuum of space, this place has almost everything technological a person could desire to see, innovation is all new and fresh once again.
Above – Here’s what I’m talking about. We punched my name into a control panel and the robot spelled it out for me. How cool is that?
It’s almost as if innovation never rests, but I don’t know him personally, so I shouldn’t make assumptions.
So, before I’ll let you go today, I have to tell you about the truly unique things this place has to offer. Forget huge, new, nice and educational, those are a minimum for me, and one they exceeded quite nicely.
When you come in you can get a badge that can be scanned here and there around the museum as you work your way through exhibits. You can design custom DNA or ask a robot to draw your face or write your name, and there are too many more to mention here, but your badge will track it all… why? So you can go online the next day and download it for your further fun and enlightenment. How cool is that?
Pretty cool! Do you wanna know what’s even cooler than that? There’s this robot that will take a look at your face and draw it out with a ballpoint pen. His neighbor, the other robot, will write your name out with colored blocks if you let him… well, okay, if you ask him to.
But the very coolest of the cool things is the fully animated earth they have. It’s not full scale, unfortunately, because apparently that would take the whole world to build, but it is to scale and it is big. That’s nothing though, what’s something is that it is vibrantly bright and fully animated all the way around, top to bottom, America to Mozambique with every stop along the way, and it’s seamless. It shows how hurricanes develop, what global warming may do to the earth regardless of whether or not politicians admit that it’s real and underway, and it looks like nothing you, me, or anyone else in my party has ever seen before.
They even have an IMAX theater on location, but I’ve left that for my senior editor’s assessment.
The Tech museum is located at 201 South Market Street in San Jose, CA 95113, that’s right in the heart of downtown San Jose. They are open 10 to 5, but be sure to check them out online at their website, www.TheTech.org for seasonal adjustments, current rates and the latest special exhibits in rotation.
Above – In the underwater exhibits you can drive your own robotic submarines complete with cameras and everything. We’re all in this picture, and we’re all trying to control it. Just goes to prove the old adage, too many kooks in the kitchen mooks up the fudge. We mostly just banged around into the glass, but we had a blast doing it.
