Instructor and students in a Hy-Tech Camps classroom

All 2024 Hy-Tech Camps will be held in-person at Hyland's headquarters in Westlake, Ohio, from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. ET on each date.

Hyland's Hy-Tech Camps are an immersive way for rising 7th – 12th grade students to learn about coding and technology while connecting with other like-minded students. By introducing students to a wide range of technology topics, they can find out what they like to do, or even what they may not like to do.

Important note: Spots fill up very quickly once registration opens, sometimes within minutes. If you have any questions, please e-mail [email protected].

This webpage is not intended for use by students under the age of 13. Parents or guardians must register for students under the age of 13.
