About the Program

Serving youth ages 13 through 19, located within the South Salt Lake Community Center. At the Teen Tech Center, we call the teens "members" because it's a space that we want them to take ownership in. The space is filled with state-of-the-art technology that members can use as tools to complete passion projects, such as making music, creating multimedia art, designing 3D objects, and much more. This is a safe space for teens to be themselves through collaboration and creativity.

Video Game Design Club

This curriculum was written in collaboration with Chat GPT.  These activities are designed for players in grades 3rd-5th and 6th-8th to work in groups of 2-4.  In some cases, players will work/play together at the same time and in others they will take turns.  Throughout the club, players will design and work on several levels.  Some players may create many different levels and then choose one to refine for their final project.  Other players, especially older players, may create one level which they add to and refine each week.

Pokémon Club

The Pokemon Card Game appeals to people of all ages.  However, the game is fairly text-heavy and requires players to be able to add, subtract, and multiply 2 digit numbers in multiples of 10. Activities will need to be adjusted depending on the age of the players, the span of ages within the club, varying reading and math levels between players, and the players’ experience with the card game.
