A pizza and drinks dinner will be provided. Cost is $150 but participants that complete the program will be awarded a $150 grant toward their business expenses. No experience necessary. Applications are closed for this fall semester. Check back later this year to hear if we are holding this class in Spring semester.

Game Development for Teens

This summer (2023) the TEC is offering a full schedule of Tech Summer Camps for students aged 11-17 yrs old. The TEC Game Development for Teens camp is very similar to the Girls Gaming Academy but thanks to funding from CNB Bank it can be offered to girls or boys at a reduced price.  It is a fun, relaxed way to get youth interested in the many different skills involved in game design, including art and graphics, 3D modeling, coding, animation, lighting, audio, etc... It is being offered twice in Summer 2023 because of limited seating (currently 9 seats). The camp runs from 8:30 - 11:30 am in the morning Mon-Fri for two weeks. (Already completed for 2023.) For more information feel free to reach out to info@TECenter.org
