Teen Tech Labs
Tech skills are a must for 21st century jobs, and the Library District Foundation is on the case! Through generous sponsorships by Cox, NV Energy & Union Pacific, Best Buy, and Switch, the Foundation has built dedicated teen tech spaces that offer hands-on training in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). These include DJ labs, maker spaces including sewing classes, robotics, music & sound production, podcasting, coding camps and so much more. These spaces let teens dive deeply into technologies that bridge the digital divide and accelerate their progress toward lucrative careers and employment.
