In this episode of “Beyond the Teen Tech Center”, we follow the story of former Best Buy Teen Tech Center® member, Tarrence Cross. In 2015, Tarrence walked into his local Best Buy Teen Tech Center at the Boys & Girls Club in Washington D.C. where access to professional-grade cameras and equipment deepened his passion for photography and capturing people and life that felt authentic to him through his lens. After receiving a scholarship from the Boys & Girls Club to attend the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Tarrence harnessed his photography and professional skills even further which he continues to use in his career and business, ten years later.
