Geek Squad Academy is designed to give youth ages 10–18 opportunities to develop technology skills that inspire future education and career choices. Through hands-on learning, students envision a future where they are creators, not just consumers, of the technology that powers the world.
When attending a Geek Squad Academy camp, students become Junior Agents and gain experience with some of today’s most exciting technology, led by instructors from Best Buy and Geek Squad. This two-day camp experience introduces students to fields such as coding, robotics, animation, music production, and more.
Application Dates
Proposals are now open for organizations interested in hosting Geek Squad Academy in 2027.
Applications are being accepted for camps taking place between May and October 2027. Geek Squad Academy is provided at no cost to selected organizations as an in-kind donation from Best Buy.
Camp Requirements
- 125–200 youth attendees
- Access to 6–7 rooms that accommodate up to 25 youth each

You may notice we've returned to our standard attendance range of 125-200 youth. This season we're introducing a new facilitator model, with traveling instructors supporting camps in communities of all sizes. This expanded approach allows us to bring Geek Squad Academy to more areas, including regions supported by a single Best Buy store.
