Grow the footprint of BYOC Camps and Clubs in the Greater Cincinnati area and build interest for the organization in Indianapolis, IN.

This will require planning and executing fun activities and fund raiser events. The team will also participate in city events where we can promote BYOC's work.

Camp BYOC’s mission is build a pipeline of minority youth for technology careers. We do this by igniting a passion for technology in youth through the classes and activities we sponsor. We expose them to the fundamentals of computer hardware and software. Youth get an accelerated dip into the world of technology. Grants and donations make the programs accessible to all levels of the community. BYOC Camps and Clubs believes that all children with drive and interest should have an opportunity to participate.

Robin Walker, a former IT Manager at Procter & Gamble, founded Camp BYOC (Build Your Own Computer) in 2014. Located in Cincinnati, Ohio it was formed in recognition of the need to close the technology gap that exists for minority youth. Upon retiring and after starting her own venture, CDM Technologies, Ms. Walker created the camp with a focus on African American youth in technology.

The lives of many youth have been impacted. Several are now in college pursing technology. Others are in high school and showing lots of interest in technology. In 2017, Camp BYOC became a 501 (c) 3 organization under the name "Academy for Technologists Extraordinaire, Inc".

Camp BYOC offers camps, clubs and activities year round.

Exploration: We showcase technologies allowing youth to find their interests.

Hands-on Experience Building a Computer: As campers build a computer they gain experience in the mechanics of assembly and the science of the technology.

Build Technology Expertise: Our development stages allow campers to go deeper into the technologies, building technical skills that are used in high school and beyond.

Saturday Fall-Spring Clubs: Weekly sessions are held on Saturdays and after school.

Special activities are held periodically.
