Technology Programs

​​Through our technology programs youth are exposed, every single day, to technology and all it can accomplish. Access to technology is not only found in stand-alone tech and STEM activities, which are delivered every day to every child enrolled in after-school or summer programming - but is integrated throughout our greater program curriculum. Every Project Learn site has computer and high speed internet access as well as designated Tech time, and every Summer Camp site includes several weeks of Tech Camp.

For our teens, our brand new Best Buy Teen Tech Center provides new computers, scanners, printers, and other gear, it also incorporates a “make and do” space for hands-on STEM engineering. With generous support from Best Buy and Microsoft, our teen technology space can now house state-of-the-art programs to get our members excited about STEM and exploring future career opportunities.
