Welcome to the BYOC Youth Tech Summit!

Build Your Own Computer (BYOC) Camps and Clubs' third Technology Summit. 

Join us for an exciting day filled with tech workshops, networking opportunities, and inspiring speakers at 1 Sheakley Way c46. This event is perfect for tech-savvy young individuals looking to explore the latest trends in technology and connect with like-minded peers.

Don't miss out on this chance to learn new skills, gain valuable insights, and have fun in a supportive and innovative environment. Whether you're a beginner or a tech enthusiast, the BYOC Youth Tech Summit has something for everyone!

Overall employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2023 to 2033. About 356,700 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.

This summit aims to address these issues by connecting youth and families with the resources, mentorship, and tools needed to pursue a successful tech career. By fostering a stronger understanding of tech careers and education paths, we can help more young people, particularly from underrepresented communities, stay on track to succeed in tech.
