The Best Buy Teen Tech Center @ North Kansas City YMCA |
|
The North Kansas City YMCA recently hosted an Open House to introduce their newly expanded Best Buy Teen Tech Center to the public. The center is a member of The Clubhouse Network that provides a creative, safe, and free out-of-school learning environment where young people, ages 12 - 19, from under-served communities work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology. Some of the technology available includes HP and MAC computers, a sound recording studio, 3D printing, photography, robotics, video production and more. Interested in becoming an adult-mentor? Click here for more details. |

The total project cost, including capital improvements, was $250,000. Best Buy, The Clubhouse Network, City of North Kansas City, Harrah's Kansas City, Helzberg Diamonds, Arkema, Inc., the Sola Family and the Plautz-Weaver Family were key funders. Shawn Torrez, Plant Manager at Arkema, Inc., served as the volunteer project manager in partnership with YMCA Executive Director, Tina Weaver and Missions Board Chairman, Julie Sola, GM at Harrah's Kansas City.
The center is now open and will be staffed by volunteers under the direction of Best Buy Teen Tech Coordinator, Chase Coffee. To arrange a tour for a tween or teen or to sign-up as a volunteer or adult-mentor, email Chase at chasecoffee@kansascityymca.org. |
