Instructors

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CODE-A-BRATIONs will only be held in-person. More details about those logistics can be found on the Job Description page of the application. Reminder, only Returning Instructors are eligible to apply to lead CABs

Candidates must have a bachelor's degree, be eligible to work in the United States and be a current or former licensed K - 12 educator. Finally, candidates must be committed to learning our coding custom curriculum.

Applications are due by 11:59 PM ET, January 8th, 2025. The application is very detailed and we encourage applicants to begin and even submit well in advance of the deadline.

New instructors are selected based on an application, an interview, and a professional reference. Returning instructors will be selected based on their performance in previous summers, an application, and a technical task submission. The most important qualities we are looking for are mission-alignment, leadership, flexibility, equity-mindedness, dependability, and collaboration.

Ideally, for camps, instructors are able to commit to 2 camp placements (i.e. 4 weeks) over the summer. It is expected that you are able to work for the full two weeks (10 days) of each camp, as well as be available the week prior to prepare for your camp. You will be expected to complete training in the spring in advance of your camp - more information can be found in the job description.

In the summer of 2025, camps will be held both virtually and in-person in specific locations across the United States.

Returning Instructors interested in leading CODE-A-BRATIONS (CABs) should ideally be available to lead at least two of these programs. CAB instructors can expect to go through several weeks of virtual training, followed by one evening of in-person prep the day before the event. CODE-A-BRATIONS take place over the course of two full days and typically occur on weekends (Saturday and Sunday plus Friday evening prep).

Kode With Klossy offers competitive compensation for completing training and leading programs. More information can be found in the job descriptions included within the application portal.

During the application process, applicants will be able to indicate their availability to teach in specific locations, modalities, and time periods. If selected, our team will use the information provided to match each instructor to specific camps.

New IAs are selected based on an application followed by an interview. The most important qualities we are looking for are mission-alignment, leadership, flexibility, equity-mindedness, dependability, and collaboration. For New IAs, priority selection will go to applicants who have exhausted all Kode With Klossy curricular offerings and/or are 18 years or older. If you are still under 18 and have not attended camps across all of our curricular offerings, we encourage you to do so before applying to become an IA. Returning IAs will complete a written application. 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.

Anyone who has served as an IA at Kode With Klossy camps in previous summers should apply as a "returning IA."

Once you've been an IA you can no longer be a scholar. If you have not attended camps across all of our curricular offerings, we encourage you to consider exhausting all curricular options before applying to become an IA. That said, if you still choose to apply to be an IA but ultimately are not selected, you can still apply to be a scholar.

In the summer of 2024, camps will be held both virtually and in-person in specific locations across the United States. It is important to note that only those who are 18 years old or older by the start of training in March 2024 will be placed in in-person camps.
