Instructors

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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).
