    Our Staff

    We know the right instructor changes everything. Our staff empowers students with the most in-demand tech skills, while bringing our fun, inclusive camp culture to life.

    Top university recruits and industry pros

    Our selective hiring practices, honed for over 20 years, yield the most highly qualified, passionate instructors from tech companies and universities like Caltech and NYU.

    All adults, no CITs, and thorough background checks

    We adhere to a policy of no “Counselors in Training.” Instead, you’ll find fun-loving, well-paid, all-adult instructors. We take safety seriously. All staff members undergo extensive background and reference checks.

    Trained in person

    Once hired, each staff member attends Regional Staff Training. Via hands-on workshops, collaborative activities, and in-depth educational sessions, they hone their teaching methods and get immersed in our core values.

    During outdoor activities and breaks between lab sessions, iD Tech students can enjoy all this historic campus has to offer, from the beautiful Mission Gardens and Spanish-style architecture to the state-of-the-art facilities. Founded in 1851, SCU is California's oldest institution of higher learning. The campus lies on "The Alameda," a famous stretch of road that connected Northern California to Southern California. With its close proximity to downtown San Jose and Caltrain, it is a convenient camp option for South Bay and Bay Area students.

    In addition to skill-building and friendships, each iD Tech camp offers students the valuable opportunity of exploring a prestigious university campus. In Santa Clara, this includes chowing down in the The Marketplace alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Mission Santa Clara de Asís De Saisset Museum, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across SCU's ample green spaces. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
