Teen Tech Lab

About Teen Tech Lab 

This is a community tech event for the youth  of Oakland, delivered through a collaboration with West Oakland Public Library! We introduce teens to software development through game design and coding! These workshops are provided throughout the year at no cost to participants.

All teen projects can be played or downloaded at these links. Source code and files can be downloaded below.

The Workshop

During the workshop, teens design pixel art, sound effects, and digital music. We show them useful problem solving techniques with puzzles and games, while engaging them on the topics they're most interested in!

The Guild is here to mentor and encourage our youth by exposing their potential as software engineers!

Our Mission

Programmers Guild is Oaklands 1st tech guild and we're on a mission to build software while building stable, new paths for the next generation to do the same. Workshops like this are NOT about awing the kids with cool tech -- its about empowering them with technology.

All participants can go home with the knowledge, confidence and resources to continue their projects! We provide equipment and mentoring, while teaching them how to harness technology.

All contributions make it possible to host events like this and after school programs. You can learn more at programmers-guild.org or follow us on Instagram @proguildoak!

Programmers Guild is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All contributions are tax free in the USA.
