About this Event
Build Your Own Computer (BYOC) Camps and Clubs' Fifth Technology Summit.
Join us for an exciting and informative summit designed to inspire, inform, and ignite a passion for technology among youth, young adults and their families.
This summit will bring together tech-focused youth, young adults, parents, technology professionals and educators from across Greater Cincinnati to explore current tech trends, skills, and career opportunities.
Overall employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2023 to 2033. About 356,700 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.
This summit aims to address these issues by connecting youth and families with the resources, mentorship, and tools needed to pursue a successful tech career. By fostering a stronger understanding of tech careers and education paths, we can help more young people, particularly from underrepresented communities, stay on track to succeed in tech.
