El Trompo Interactive Museum of Tijuana
Stages 3 and 4
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
2011 and 2013
A Museum that seeks to highlight the city's capacity for innovation.
El Trompo Museo Interactivo Tijuana is a space created in synergy with the city's collective movement "Tijuana Innovadora" (Innovative Tijuana), whose aim is to generate projects and creative proposals for social innovation, for raising quality of life, and for showing the strengths that the city has in relation to its virtues, talents, vocations and passions.
At the Museum, little-known traits of Tijuana become visible, such as its scientific, technological, industrial, educational, and artistic capacities, all central to innovation. In addition to fostering a sense of belonging toward the city, the Museum inspires its visitors to develop in these five areas. It seeks to become a reference to Tijuana's educational field, a detonator of innovation projects focused on solving real-life problems, a meeting point for the Tijuana community, and a partner for teachers in their educational endeavors.
