Youth Tech Inc. originated in 2001 near the cornfields of Iowa where the camp's founder was working on his master's degree in Education Technology and instructing computer classes at North Iowa Community College (NIACC). It was at this time that the camp founder was asked by the college president to put together some sort of computer training for school-aged students which started the concept of the week long computer camp. The camp was also used as a research project for the founders master's degree and research the best methods for teaching students high end computer skills.
