How do you add newlines? to correct the address format

I'm not sure if what you meant is a new heading, if it is, you can change the title by clicking on edit this page. You put == on either side of your heading name.--~*Angelstar*~ 03:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I renamed the article to reflect its recent name change, though I still haven't found the official cutover date. I also reorganized the content to follow Wikipedia standards for articles about museums. There still remains an advertising and promotional flavor which should be dialed back to a more objective and encyclopedic tone. Reify-tech (talk) 13:28, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have a conflict of interest because I work for The Tech Interactive. I would like to request a factual update to reflect the organization’s leadership.

Suggested text: In November 2020, Katrina Stevens became president and CEO of The Tech Interactive, succeeding Tim Ritchie. She is the first woman and first educator to lead the organization.^[1]

If appropriate, please also update the infobox: | leader_title = President and CEO | leader_name = Katrina Stevens

Thank you for considering. Kebarrow (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have a conflict of interest because I work for The Tech Interactive. I would like to request factual updates to the article to reflect current exhibits, galleries and AI literacy programming. I have suggested neutral wording below and used independent sources where available.

Please consider adding the following paragraph to the “Exhibits” section:

In 2025, The Tech Interactive opened Dream Garden, an AI-powered immersive exhibit created with Design I/O, as a featured exhibit in its AI Sandbox gallery.^[2] The AI Sandbox gallery focuses on hands-on exploration of artificial intelligence, including how AI systems process information and respond to visitor input.^[3]

Please also consider adding this sentence to the same section:

In 2025, The Tech Interactive opened Innovation in Bloom, a two-story interactive ball wall that promotes experimentation and creative problem-solving.^[4]

Please also consider adding this sentence if it is appropriate to include current gallery names:

The museum also added the new gallery, Pixel Playground, in 2025, a space with interactive exhibits that combine digital technology with physical play.^[5]

Please consider adding the following paragraph to the “Programs” section:

The Tech Interactive has hosted National AI Literacy Day programming focused on artificial intelligence education for students, educators and community leaders in 2024, 2025, and 2026. In 2024, The Tech hosted one of three in-person events for the inaugural National AI Literacy Day, in partnership with Stanford Graduate School of Education and other organizations; the event included panels on AI in education and field trips for about 1,100 K-12 students.^[6][7] The Tech was also listed by aiEDU as an organizing partner for later National AI Literacy Day events in San Jose and Washington, D.C.^[8]

Please also consider adding the following sentence about adult programming, if the article’s scope allows for current public programs:

The Tech also offers Tech at Nite, an adults-only evening event series featuring after-hours access to exhibits and creative, hands-on activities in partnership with Local Color.^[9]

Thank you for considering these updates. Kebarrow (talk) 22:19, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
