Since 1999, our family company has instructed and empowered over 500,000 students. We’ve partnered with dozens of nonprofit organizations to increase equity and diversity in STEM education. And when global pandemic hit, we innovated like never before to create a cutting-edge suite of virtual programs.
Now, we are thrilled to announce that we are stepping back on campus for Summer 2022!
Our programs, both in-person and online, empower students not only to find their own “internal drive” (yes, that’s where our name comes from!), but also to succeed in college and take on top careers in the tech world. For us, it’s always about the kids and what they accomplish on their journey, and it’s incredible to see what they achieve!
Some go on to start their own companies or found nonprofits that make the world a better place. Others land coveted jobs at tech powerhouses like Google, EA, and Disney. For many students, it truly does start here. Check out our student success stories.
Our programs offer the best of the best; by investing top notch instructors, cutting-edge curriculum, and the latest hardware and software, we make an investment in every students’ potential.
Are we perfect? Absolutely not—who is? We are a human business that needs to continually refine, improve, and grow.
Are we an inexpensive camp? No. But is iD Tech worth it? Families across the country are responding with a resounding “YES!”

Universal benefits of iD Tech programs
Whether it’s online or at our in-person programs, iD Tech is world-renowned for providing life-changing experiences in tech. Here is what kids and families can expect at our programs:
Tech rockstar instructors
Years ago, we bucked the summer camp trend and implemented a “No Counselors in Training” policy. Too many camps were cutting corners by “hiring” 15, 16, and 17-year-old teens as counselors.
Not us. We hire only the best of the best experts in tech and in making STEM fun for kids.
We seek out the top talent and attract (and retain) the best of the best. Our certified Tech Rockstars come from renowned universities like NYU, Caltech, and more. After camp, they often get recruited by tech icons like Google, EA, and Disney. The best companies hire who we hire.
Gamified learning for long-term success
Experience The iD Tech Pathway™, our proprietary, gamified learning system. Your child will start at L1 and gain XP (experience points) for each completed summer or online course.
They'll work and play hard to unlock a love of learning and prove mastery over time, ultimately earning the badge of L10 and the honor of being published in our prestigious L10 index, plus a personal letter of recommendation from iD Tech CEO Pete Ingram-Cauchi.
Customized, small-group learning environments
We’re not a “one-size fits-all” program, far from it. Whether it’s our Alexa Café programs (designed for girls), intensive Semesters, Online Private Lessons, or Virtual Tech Camps, it’s important to us to offer an option that sparks every kid’s interest in tech.
At iD Tech, we know that how students learn is just as important as what they learn, so it’s our top priority to offer something that works for every kid’s learning style, personality, and goals.
In-demand curriculum + skill certification
From Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, Epic Games, and more, we provide tools that allow students to create and innovate like the pros. With the latest and greatest tech products, your child can prepare for a world of opportunity in college and beyond.
This summer, we can’t wait to launch over 30 new on-campus learning experiences for kids and teens!
Plus, there’s still more online! AI virtual camps and Python courses. Game dev and monetization with Roblox. Snapchat Lens Creation with Augmented Reality. Video production and animation for YouTube. Whatever your child's passion, they'll put together an impressive final project for their portfolio, and take home their official iD Diploma, complete with instructor insights.
The best support team in the biz
We may build robots, but our business is run by real humans, and pretty awesome ones at that!
Our Client Services team really cares about each and every family that comes through our doors. Many of the team have seen firsthand the magic of iD Tech in action at our on-campus programs, and they’re passionate about making it happen for every student!
All iD Tech virtual programs include:
Ultimate convenience and flexibility
If there was ever a time to go above and beyond flexibility-wise, it would be now. Our virtual programs bring everything kids love about iD Tech to the comfort and convenience of home, and we could not be happier to make life a little easier for parents who have a lot on their plate right now.
All of our online lessons and camps offer scheduling flexibility with multiple time slots, durations, and format options for families to choose from. We’re here to work with your schedule and find the perfect fit for your child.
Personalized instruction, seamlessly delivered
With the right mentor, anything is possible. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement to get started on a great idea or passion project, and a one-on-one learning environment is ideal for making that happen.
iD Tech Online Private Lessons offer limitless possibilities for kids’ journeys in STEM. In addition to offering the same cutting-edge content and topic options as our small-group programs, Online Private Lessons also have a choose your own path option that’s perfect for kids looking to chart a totally new course.
Plus, with our new subscribe and save feature, it’s never been easier to seamlessly incorporate STEM into your child’s routine (and score a discount at the same time!)
All iD Tech in-person programs include:
Our summer programs are held at top campuses worldwide, including our Silicon Valley summer camps, and others held at UCLA, UW, University of Michigan, and more. These institutions are extremely selective when it comes to hosting external programs on campus.
We’ve proven our worth and earned their trust, ultimately benefiting our campers. How? Early exposure to collegiate life inspires students to dream BIG.
We believe that every student deserves the chance to become a star coder, game developer, engineer, or creative. That's why we've made our camps more accessible than ever, with flexible payment options, policies that make life easier, and more scholarships than ever before.

Invest in your child’s future
In an age where STEM jobs - specifically in technology - are among the highest paid and fastest growing in the country (one of many reasons why kids should learn to code), a session with iD Tech is an investment in your child’s future. In fact, CNN Money reported that students who graduate with degrees in STEM are the top paid—and most sought-after—grads in the country. Take that to the bank!
We hear from students every year: “I learned more at iD Tech in one week than I learned in a semester at school.” It’s because we’ve built a culture that is “un-school.”
We’ve mastered the art of creating a fun, camp-ified setting and expanded to keep the learning going all year. That way, our students learn to love technology without feeling like they'll be a test at the end of class. They can unleash their creativity without being competitive or wondering when they can do something they’re really interested in.
At the end of the day, the iD Tech experience is about tapping into the internalDrive of each student, building upon their passions, and providing a long-term pathway to college and beyond.
