Square Tech's Teen Program-
Recruiting high school juniors and seniors from Castle Square, surrounding neighborhoods, and Boston Public Schools, Square Tech provides innovative vocational training to youth in the IT field. Square Tech collects unwanted computers, otherwise headed for the landfill, from our partners throughout Boston. Youth then apply their learned IT training to refurbish these computers, which are then available for suggested donation. This effectively increases affordable access to technology to some of Boston’s most unconnected communities.
Throughout the program, teens learn skills such as:
PC Hardware 101
Networking Fundamentals
Computer Programming
Business/Customer Service Training
