The next generation of teens meets the next generation of technology

Best Buy's Geek Squad Academy offers an opportunity for students to develop technology skills, build self-confidence, spark creativity and discover how technology can benefit them in their educational pursuits and future careers.

Geek Squad Academy students become "Junior Agents" and get hands-on experience with some of the newest and cooles Appoinment Local Best Buy employees help junior agents explore areas like:

* Coding
* Game design
* Photography
* 3d design
* digital music
* ... and more!

It's one thing to tell teens about a possible future in technology, but the real magic happens when you show them that they can start now. Geeksquad.com/member Appoinment Academy is all about creating fun projects with accessible technology that junior agents can show off to their friends and family.
