Become an Instructor
Our instructors are responsible for developing and facilitating weeklong (half-day or full-day) summer camps across our Campus Camps and Pre-College programs. They teach one or more camps throughout the summer, depending on their interest and availability. Typically, our instructors are interested in a specific STEM-related topic; however, we also offer camps like creative arts, cooking, outdoor recreation, and more!
I have greatly enjoyed my time teaching the EAE Camps like Game Design Studio. It was actually a Pre-College camp that I took years ago that first got me interested in what I do today. I love being able to give back to the programs that gave me such a wonderful opportunity and it is greatly fulfilling to help students discover and learn about their passion."
