In 1999, the family behind iD Tech Camps and Teen Academies pioneered the very first tech camps for kids and teens and worked 7 days a week in a studio above a garage. What started as 280 students per year has grown to 50,000 students per year, and the organization describes itself as having a 25-year legacy of excellence in STEM education. The program states a mission to create life-changing tech experiences that embolden students to shape the future. It is described as the nation’s original and most trusted youth STEM educator for kids and teens, with a reputation as the world’s go-to summer STEM educator and the world’s largest and most trusted tech program. This year, the organization will offer more scholarships than ever before to students from underserved communities. One parent shared, “This wasn’t just a tech camp—it was a personal growth experience. Our son came home a little more independent, a lot more curious, and already asking when he can go back next summer."
