San Francisco
Well known as the home of some of the world’s most recognizable technology companies, it’s no surprise that San Francisco has a thriving culture built on science, technology, engineering, and math. Lately, many tech companies have shifted back from Silicon Valley to San Francisco as the emphasis on tech has shifted from hardware to software. During your tour of this foggy, tech-friendly city, you’ll discuss environmental conservation in a redwood forest, have a real-life “Shark Tank” experience as you listen to startups pitch investors at the Plug and Play Tech Center, and explore the artsy side of tech with a visit to the Autodesk Gallery.
