The Best Buy Teen Tech Center

The Best Buy Teen Tech Center at Kings Highway Library features work stations, cutting-edge technology and software, collaborative areas, job readiness training and a recording studio.

WHAT WE DO

The Best Buy Teen Tech Center is more than just an interactive learning environment where teens can experiment with technology. It’s also a space to be creative, learn at your own pace, socialize with peers, meet professionals in the field of tech, and—through the Pathways program—acquire skills for college and careers.

Teens ages 13–18 are encouraged to use their imaginations to explore technology, create art, music, animations, 3D objects, jewelry, fashion creations and beyond.

Furthermore, Best Buy's collaboration with The Clubhouse Network will provide participants with access to a global network of youth in over 100 clubhouses in 20 countries, allowing them to share their projects with teens all over the world. To join, drop by the Center and ask to talk with a staff member.
