ESLARP in Action Blog Search	Enriching young minds through community engagement Teen Tech Team Teen Tech Team is a Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) sponsored youth program aimed at teaching youth, ages 14-18, computer hardware, software diagnostics, and business entrepreneurship skills. Teens learn to build a computer with donated parts from Prairienet of UIUC and Computer Village of St. Louis. Along with technology expertise, teens also learn about business as they sell the used and refurbished computers to the community at affordable prices. Participating teens also have the opportunity to work with GSLIS students refurbishing computers for non-profit organizations. Last updated on 1/14/2009
