To
celebrate our 10th year of Geek Squad Academy, we are inviting
students ages 10-16 from across the Twin Cities to join us for a free two-day
tech camp at the downtown campus of Minneapolis Community Technical College
from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. August 17-18. As a special bonus, all students
will learn to build their own computers and take them home.
What
is Geek Squad Academy?
Geek Squad Academy
(GSA) from Best Buy is a hands-on learning program where students build new
technology skills through creating and making. At GSA, your Junior Agents
will create their own music, explore 3D design, learn about web programming,
video production and more. Classes focus on discovery and developing new tech
skills through fun and interactive experiences that help to de-mystify
technology. Students will also participate in a “Build Your Own Device” course,
where they will assemble their own internet-ready computers and take them home.
