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 and are CPR & First-Aid Certified.

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 that the sunny USF campus has to offer. USF is located in Tampa, just 30 minutes from Tampa International Airport. Founded in 1956, the university is relatively young, but students, faculty, and alumni have built camaraderie in established traditions such as campus pride, homecoming events, academic ceremonies, and athletics team support. Come explore campus!

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 South Florida, this includes chowing down in Champions Choice and/or The Hub alongside future tech disruptors, taking in campus landmarks like Botanical Gardens and Graphicstudio, and basking in the sunshine during outdoor activities and games across Simmons Park. The entire experience gives students an exciting glimpse into their own bright future.
