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.

Founded in 1817, University of Michigan boasts one of the largest health care complexes in the world, the top university library system in the country, and some of the best computer access for students and faculty. The campus is home to a mix of modern and historic buildings, as well as a variety of museums that enrich the campus culture. During outdoor activities and between lab sessions, iD Tech students can take in all that this inspiring university setting 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 University of Michigan, this includes chowing down in the South Quad Dining Hall alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Detroit Observatory, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across Hanover Square Park. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
