Youth Programs 2025
Technology moves as fast as our youth. And we're here to meet them every step of the way! Upcoming Youth Tech Workshops for 2025:
- West Oakland Public Library: Teen Tech Jam (June 3-7)
- Call for any questions about participation!
We work with local partners to develop youth tech workshops that engage their interests while educating them about technology. Our workshops aim to help our youth make skillful, more tech savy and safer in digital spaces.
We can bring our workshops to you, or you can bring hte little programmers in your life to our tech haven!
Electrify Their Minds
The main priority of every youth workshop is engagement -- young people are already invested in today's technology. Our workshops are about showing them some of the ways they can harness it to achieve their own creative goals.
Each workshop has a dedicated theme to keep the participants eagerly focused on something they can accomplish by the end. We ensure every child knows they can do it! Here are some of the workshop themes we've developed for past events:
- Digital Haven: Explore digital art, from 3D modeling to music.
- Handy Tech: Explore computer hardware with gadgets and robotics!
- Dream It, Build It: Learn technical skills and techniques to expand and explore their creativity.
- Inspired: Explore the digital frontier and place the future in their hands.
Teen STEAM Workshops
STEAM stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math -- a twist on the old STEM. We emphasize the importance of creativity in all of our workshops.
Teen workshops are designed for ages 12-17 and a little more advanced that youth workshops. This stage of development demands practical depth -- a level of coding and design that teenagers can really sink their brains into while imagining their future! These workshops are more free-form, allowing space for guided exploration and max creativity.
- Graphic Design: Explore 2D graphical design!
- Digital Design: 2D and 3D digital art, using code!
- Sound Design:Create digital instruments and work with sound!
- Game Development:Combine storytelling, art, music and code into an interactive experience!
All youth labs and workshops aim to engage the next generations by providing an outlet for their creativity. Programming is FAR more than code and the best programmers are highly creative. We cultivate that creativity and empower our young super stars with digital knowledge.
