Empowering the Next Generation of Creators and Innovators

The Best Buy Teen Tech Center at the Capri (CBBTTC) is a safe, high-energy space where local youth hang out, dream big, and unlock their full potential. We provide teens from PYC Arts & Technology High School—and across our entire community—with free access to professional-grade technology, hands-on training, and dedicated adult mentors. This space is intentionally built to amplify the natural talent of our neighborhood’s youth. Here, they get the exact tools they need to launch future careers in coding, design, filmmaking, and music production.

Whether you are a teen ready to create, a parent investing in your child’s future, or a donor proud to fuel community success, we invite you to discover what makes the Capri Teen Tech Center so powerful.


Our teens don’t just learn about technology—they use it to create professional-quality projects using:

  • State-of-the-Art Music Studio: Audio engineering, mixing, and music production.
  • Digital Media Lab: Podcasting, photography, video editing, and film production.
  • Advanced Engineering: 3D printing, robotics, and coding.
  • Creative Design: Graphic design, digital arts, sewing, and fashion crafting.

The CBBTTC at the Capri is a proud member of The Clubhouse Network, an international community of over 100 Clubhouses across 20 countries. This partnership connects our local youth to a global network of 25,000 peers, unlocking exclusive resources, skills, and experiences that prepare them to lead outstanding lives and excel in tomorrow’s workforce.
