ation; stop-motion animation film-making;

“This introduction to tech skills could

cialist. “It's one thing to tell them about
technology, but with this hands-on training,
our students were exposed to the latest
technology in a fun and interactive setting.”
As experts in technology, Best Buy and
the Geek Squad continue to leverage their
knowledge, resources and employee volun-
teers from the state to host these special
workshops that empower youth and help
prepare them for the future. By interacting
with the latest technologies, these partici-
pants were able to see the benefits of digi-
tal learning up close while developing
skills to help better prepare them for
future education and career success,
Mortier explained. For additional informa-
tion about Best Buy's community relations
