Best Buy Teen Tech Center
Best Buy is a maker’s space for youth ages 12-19 bridging the gap between our communities and technology. The Best Buy Teen Tech Center is a safe place that allows youth to connect, learn, innovate, and improve their lives. We believe that technology can empower people to dream big and accomplish great things. Across the country, many communities lack support and access to the tools and training that can unlock a better future and prepare youth for the challenges ahead.
