THE TECH INTERACTIVE ANNOUNCES TOTALLY RAD SUMMER LINEUP

It's Giving Science, Nostalgia, and Serious Chill — No Sunscreen Required!

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Skip the sunscreen and crank up the curiosity because summer at The Tech Interactive is bringing serious 90s-inspired vibes. From June 20 to August 3, Silicon Valley's premier science and technology center will offer extended hours, hands-on experiences, and a full lineup of creative programming for visitors of all ages.

From massive domino builds to throwback dance nights and Hollywood films on the largest IMAX® dome screen on the West Coast, The Tech Interactive is the Bay Area's go-to destination for cool fun and hands-on learning. The museum will be open until 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, all summer long.

In addition to exploring 130,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, including the new AI-powered Dream Garden, guests can participate in summer workshops and pop-up activities. From building solar ovens for roasting s'mores to experimenting with molecular gastronomy, there's always something to inspire the innovator in everyone.

"If Summer at The Tech were a mixtape, it'd be packed with science hits, hands-on jams, and blockbuster IMAX tracks," said Natalie Taylor, VP of Engagement & Experiences at The Tech Interactive. "From building epic domino chains to chilling out after hours at Tech at Nite, it's going to be all that and a bag of chips."
