Learning about new technologies and being able to have a fun with the kids in the camp.
What I wish was different
The location was a little far. They dont have a set location and instead they go to different schools to do summer camp.
Advice
Make sure you you have some knowledge of drones and dont mind working with all age groups.

Advice
I think it was beneficial to me to gain even a small amount of work experience before I go on to have a full-time, semester long internship.

STEM Instructor
June - August 2018 • Columbus, OH
What I liked
Working with the children and teaching the curriculum. We had to set up about 6 different activities per day every day of the week so it was very fast paced which I enjoyed the most. All of the kids were curious and inquisitive but were also pretty independent.
What I wish was different
I wish the management end had been a little more organized
Advice
Be prepared for a very busy couple of weeks with enthusiastic children.

May - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
I loved working with the campers and seeing the excitement and concentration on their faces as they navigate the tasks and challenges we present to them.
What I wish was different
I wish I was given more hours than what they provided me with. They had to cancel some of the weeks I was working due to low enrollment, because it was their first year at this location.
Advice
Based off of my experience, they don't prepare you as much as you hoped. So go into the camps with an open mind, flexible curriculum, and with only one goal: Give the kids a fun and challenging experience to take home with them.
