CODE-A-BRATION is designed for young women and gender expansive teens ages 13-18 who feel comfortable learning in a female-identifying environment. They must be local to or able to provide their own transportation to both days of the event.

Scholars will be placed in one of four curricular offerings, based on availability and prior experience in Kode With Klossy programs. Programs include activities outside of just direct learning, including hosting inspirational women in technology as part of a speaker series.

No previous computer science experience is necessary to participate in any curricular offering.

All camps are co-taught by 2 instructors, who are licensed educators, with the support of at instructor assistants -- who are Kode With Klossy alumni trained in the curriculum.

Camps will take place on the following dates in the following cities. Chicago IL : June 25 & 26 Oakland CA: July 1 & 2

Please direct all questions and inquiries to: events@kodewithklossy.com

Returning instructors can apply to solely lead CODE-A-BRATIONS in 2025. New instructors 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. During our two-day CODE-A-BRATION workshop, participants will 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 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.

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, Canada, or the UK 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. Applicants are encouraged to set aside 1-2 hours to complete the application.

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. Returning IAs will be selected based on their performance in previous summers, an application, and a technical task submission. 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 summer camps in previous summers should apply as a "returning IA." If you have only served as CAB IA previously, you should still apply as a “New IA” but feel free to mention your experience as a CAB IA in your response to questions on the application.

Once you've been a Camp 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 then apply to be a scholar. If you have previously served as a CAB IA but have not yet served as a Camp IA as long as you still meet the other requirements (18 or under) you can still apply to be a scholar in camps this coming summer!

In 2025, summer camps will be held both virtually and in-person in specific locations across the United States. CODE-A-BRATIONs will only be held in-person and will occur throughout the spring, summer, and fall.

Kode With Klossy offers competitive compensation for completing training and leading summer camps. More information can be found in the job applications linked above.

The Instructor Assistant position is available to anyone who has attended a Kode With Klossy summer camp. Kode With Klossy alumni who have only attended a non summer program (ex.

New IA applicants must be 18 years or older by April 1st 2025 OR have exhausted all four Kode With Klossy curricular offerings. 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. Alumni who are still eligible to participate in our programming as a scholar are not eligible for the IA position.

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 CABs will still span two days with scholars and one evening of prep but may occur during the week as well as on some weekends.
