Intel Museum Has New Exhibits

“Arti,” an artificial intelligence robot, talks with museum guides to help tell the fascinating story about how Intel’s technology helps teachers and students in South Africa. That is just one of the new exhibits on display at the Intel Museum .Visitors to the museum can also catch a handful of “binary rain,” representing the data created by emails, cell phones, video, and more. In addition, you can “get digitized” as your digital photo is snapped and a digital postcard is created.

All this is FREE as there is no charge to visit the Intel Museum. The museum also provides maps in multiple languages that provide a quick review of each exhibit. The Intel Museum and Intel Museum Store is located at Intel’s headquarters at the Robert Noyce Building at 2200 Mission College Blvd. in Santa Clara.

"Live" Camera Allows You to Watch Ballroom Expansion as it Happens

The exciting 24,000 square foot Convention Center ballroom expansion is underway and you can watch it happen “live.” Construction has been ongoing since this past October, 2007 and is gaining steam. The new space is designed for multi-purpose use as ballroom, meeting, or exhibit space.

The current construction does not interrupt any of the current Convention Center operations. The Center is connected to the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara and next to the Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club. Across the street and within short walking distance is California’s Great America theme park.

Just two years ago, the Convention Center celebrated its 20th anniversary. The state-of-the-art 262,000 square foot building has hosted many dignitaries including President George W. Bush, Prince Andrew, current Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Senator John Glenn, and many others.
