While there are plenty of jobs hiring in Pittsburgh, the city itself isn’t just for adults. Throughout all Pittsburgh neighborhoods kids and teenagers are making Pittsburgh their foundation to grow, explore and learn. It’s a fantastic experience to be a part of such a giving and opportunity rich city as you’re growing up, and now with the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s, The Labs, teens have the opportunity to learn, create, and ultimately give back to that same community.
Based out of four of the main Carnegie Library’s, The Labs is Pittsburgh’s teen-only creative learning program. It provides teens, grades 6-12, with different softwares, such as music editing, video editing, photo editing and programing technology, as well as the mentors to help guide them in learning how to manipulate and use the different programs. Generally at The Labs, a month is broken up into four weeks, each week with its own focus on either film making, music, photography, and programming technology. This allows for teens to create their own Pgh arts, from a rap song to a working robot. It’s an opportunity for your teenager to use her or his time productively, socialize and gain insight into life from five different vibrant mentors!
While today Pittsburgh is known as one of the most affordable places to live in America, over the past century or so Pittsburgh has also gained a reputation for innovation. It’s a creative and lively city and home to a plethora of passionate people. And now for the first time ever, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is offering the opportunity for teens to find their passion in a safe and welcoming environment at The Labs.
