Good young adult sci fi series?

OK. Most of the series I like have a main character that's about 10-20 years old, and the series has a lot to do with technology/computers. Also, the characters are usually smart and have a lot of power. It doesn't matter if they don't fulfill all of these requirements, but it has to be a SERIES, and not just books. Not books, SERIES.

Some of the books that I loved are:

Artemis Fowl Series

H.I.V.E. Series

Evil Genius Series

Enders Game ( I just finished it last night, was pretty awesome)

These two don't really fit in with the other books, but I liked 'em too:

All books by Anthony Horowitz

Margaret Peterson Haddix books

Any Recommendations?

Oh, and none of that wizard, dragon, hocus pocus type of stuff. (like Eragon)

Harry Potter was great, but it's one of a kind.

Thanks in advance. :)

I asked this question before and most people recommended these, which I have already read, but hated: The Hunger Games Series (not really a big fan, but was ok)

Maximum Ride

The Golden Compass (hated it)

    Don't diss the dragons man! Check out Dragonlance - great fantasy series

    For Sci-Fi, here a few EXCELLENT series, keep in mind that a lot of these are very heavy in advanced concepts and can be quite adult. They also often skip from character to character and in some of them women play a strong protaganist role. If you dig the tech and science stuff, though, there are few authors that do a better job.

    Hyperion Cantos (6 Books) - Dan Simmons

    Iium/Olympus - Dan Simmons

    Revelation Space Series (about 7-8 books now I think) - Alastair Reynolds

    House of Suns - Alastair Reynolds

    Also, check out Neuromancer - cant remember author's name.

    Have you read any of the Ender Series or Shadow Series? Ender's Shadow is the story from Bean's perspective, and it continues into the Shadow Series (which I found much more enjoyable than the Ender's Series).
