vintageTEK.org is a charitable, educational and scientific museum founded to commemorate the early history of Tektronix, Inc and its role in spawning approximately 300 high technology companies in the 'Silicon Forest' - i.e. the four county, two state metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon.

Our main goal is to share our knowledge and history and to "pique the interest of young people in science and technology and to challenge them to become the technologists of the next decade".

We are planning educational events including our first scholarship based "Geek Academy", using the vintageTEK.org Museum staff, facilities and equipment to teach science and technology subjects to fifth and sixth graders.

Our long term plans include raising $5M to $7M to acquire land and our own building, and fund a chair in Analog Design at a major Oregon University.
