Description​

Discover why Kendall Square is known as the Most Innovative Square Mile on Earth. From the telephone to the microwave oven, Cambridge has participated in the invention of a surprising number of everyday objects. Email, Radar technology, guidance chips, and the woven cotton firehose were all born in the same ten-block radius that boasts the flagship organization of the Human Genome Project, pioneers of ‘the cloud’ and streaming video, and the advent of Zipcar.

We walk past offices of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, and the world’s most important research sites for genomics, cancer, and artificial intelligence. Science geeks will be in heaven. And for those who haven't spent hours on Youtube watching robots-- prepare to have your mind blown. This tour delves into the cutting-edge of the current science to show you what the history books will look like twenty years from now.

​We Can't...

• Unfortunately, we cannot include any “insider” tours of the tech and biotech companies in Kendall Square. The companies and laboratories in Kendall Square are active, working, and often sanitized laboratories which would have difficulty functioning if they allowed tour companies inside. If you care to arrange something directly through the companies, we would be delighted to accompany you to and from the location within the timeframe of the tour, or as needed.
