“
    My son, who just turned eight, LOVED his Roblox design camp.
    I have never seen him so excited to go to camp. EVER. He had a hard time
    falling asleep every night because he was too excited for the next day.
    I have never seen him like that. Not even for Disneyland or Europe. I mean,
    never. He said he’s finally with kids who are just like him. That made the
    cost so worth it. Thank you!”

“
    I’m never going to a typical summer camp ever
    again because iD Tech was way better! I’m glad I
    got to learn more about my biggest interests and
    it basically just felt like having fun all day even
    though technically I was learning. My instructor was
    awesome, helpful and encouraging. They got me
    motivated to continue learning more at home!”

       My son loves it! After every lesson, he tells
       me he learned so much. It’s great to have
       a resource that can teach him new skills in
       tools where I lack expertise! It’s a huge time
       saver for me and a big confidence booster
       for my son! Thank you!”

          My son said, ‘I can’t believe two weeks could pass
          so fast!’ He can’t wait until next summer. Our
          15-year-old enjoyed the challenge and was able
          to integrate prior knowledge with robotics to create
          a coding program for a project with AI over his
          two-week course. Expert staff members instilled
          confidence and encouraged creativity. So much
          variety and opportunity to learn in many fields!”

      My daughter has taken levels starting with beginner coding and worked her
      way up. She loves the virtual camps where she meets great kids her own
      age with the same interests. iD Tech has helped her hone in on her skills
      and create her own ideas.
