The Teen Zone

The Teen Zone offers a mix of gaming, creative technology, and flexible space for collaboration. 

Gaming is an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and build problem-solving and communication skills in a safe, supervised environment. We have the Playstation 5, XBox Series X, and Nintendo Switch consoles available for use!

The Teen Zone makerspace supports hands-on learning, creativity, and experimentation.
