The Edison Tech Center remains committed to its three part mission of:
1. Inspiring young people and students to discover the satisfying career of engineering
2. Preserving the legacy of past inventors and engineers through interviews, documentaries, bios, and other forms of communication along with on-site displays
3. Create understanding and appreciation of what improvements engineers have made in everyone's daily life.

The center needs funds to stay operational: artifacts and workshop areas need funds to cover the overhead and operational costs. Online educational multimedia materials must adapt and grow in order to continue to benefit the public in all locations (over 10,000 people a month use our webpage as of January 2012). Private contributions are confidential and very much appreciated.
