Experience the ideal balance of STEM learning and summer fun at our Caltech programs! Caltech is a private research institution situated about 11 miles northeast of bustling downtown LA, and is one of a small group of U.S. "Institutes of Technology." (Caltech has an ongoing "rivalry" with MIT on the east coast!)
During outdoor activities and breaks between lab sessions, iD Tech students enjoy all of the beauty and inspiration this campus has to offer.
In addition to skill-building and friendships, each iD Tech camp offers students the valuable opportunity of exploring a prestigious university campus. At California Institute of Technology, this includes chowing down in the Lee F. Browne Dining Hall alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Gene Pool fountain, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across Beckman Mall. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
