Located at our Hillside Club (11339 84 Ave, Delta), the Teen Tech Centre is an ‘outside of school’ space, where youth can develop digital fluency and express themselves through technology. With the guidance of staff and collaboration with their peers, youth can take ownership of their own learning process and work on projects that are personally meaningful to them. Youth will be able to explore a ton of programs related to tech including 3D design and printing, photography, digital and graphic design, image design and creation, coding, animation, videography, STEM projects, musical instruments and production (we could go on and on!) As they explore their ideas and interests, they are also developing skills and knowledge that may lead to future educational and career paths.
