TASCO Teen Technology

About

The Center for Teen Technology (CTT) is a unique experience that offers technology classes throughout the year and a summer camp that includes the same extreme summer camp experience you get from one of the middle school summer camp except for the everyday focus on technology.


Tech Camps & Classes

TASCO offers free after-school technology classes for teens in grades 6 through 12.

These courses are designed to introduce teens to different media and technologies, and progress to hands-on learning experiences. Participants use DSLR digital cameras, video cameras, robots, 3D printers, and computers in our state-of-the-art facility. Our programs are fun, value-based programs, so teens want to be involved.
