Application Pro Tips
Our Questions
The application is made up of two short-response questions. You have the option to answer in writing, or by video. In these questions, we're looking for indivduals that represent creativity, community-mindedness, and passion.
Our Guidelines
We recommend keeping your written responses between 100 - 250 words. This is the sweet-spot in telling your story in a compelling way!
Your Story
There are no right answers to these questions! They are an opportunity for you to show us who you are, and to show off your incredible personality. When answering the questions, don't think of what we want you to say, say what speaks to you, and tell us your story!!
-
I’m not available to lead a full two week camp. Can I apply only for the CODE-A-BRATION opportunity?Yes! Instructors who have led camps in previous summers and are interested in returning to the Kode With Klossy community are able to select in their application that they are only available to be a CAB instructor. You will also be able to indicate if you are available for placement in the Spring, Summer, Fall, or some combination of all three. Applicants who have not previously led a Kode With Klossy summer camp are not currently eligible to apply for the CODE-A-BRATION instructor opportunity.
-
What do scholars learn and what coding languages are taught?In our two-week camps, scholars learn one of four curriculum options: Website Development, Mobile Application Development, Data Science, or Machine Learning. No coding experience is required for scholars, and many scholars return to participate in camp each year. Over the course of ten days, scholars work collaboratively to learn, code and apply those learnings to a capstone final project, demoed on the final day for friends and family. In all our programmatic offerings, scholars do so much more than just code: they engage in culture of technology discussions, do yoga, meditation, dance, make TikToks, build community through brain breaks, personal reflection, and group discussion. Scholars then become lifelong members and alumni of the robust Kode With Klossy network.
-
When will I find out if I’ve been selected?Applicants will be notified of their application status on a rolling basis. All applicants will receive a final decision notification by the end of March. Due to the number of applicants, we cannot give individualized feedback on applications.
-
Do I need computer science or coding experience to apply?While previous experience learning or teaching computer science is a plus, it is not required to apply. Kode With Klossy provides its instructors with extensive pre-service training so that they have the skills and knowledge necessary to lead our programs.
-
What do scholars learn in CODE-A-BRATION? What coding languages are taught?In our two day CODE-A-BRATIONS ~75 scholars who are brand new to the Kode With Klossy community learn the foundations of several computer science concepts including Web Development and Artificial Intelligence. Like our summer offering, scholars will be given the opportunity to build a project they are passionate about using their newfound skills and demo what they have built to their peers. In all of our programmatic offerings, scholars do so much more than just code: they engage in culture of technology discussions, do yoga, meditation, dance, make TikToks, build community through brain breaks, personal reflection, and group discussion. Scholars then become lifelong members and alumni of the robust Kode With Klossy network.
