Meet the Team

Core team

Our core team work across all venues, planning the season, training staff, setting up the venues and making sure everything runs smoothly.

We're not like your typical kids' camp. Founded and run by a professional electrical engineer and teacher, who has designed workshops for international science festivals, TV and even the London Science Museum, we've got engineering and technology at our heart.

An award-winning electronic engineer and teacher, Tom started the first camp in 2008 to fill the long summer holidays, and soon turned it from a hobby into a full-time occupation.

Seasonal team

When we're running our events we draw on the expertise of many more staff. Our tutors are chosen for their technical expertise and teaching ability. Typically undergraduates studying engineering or computer science at the UK's leading universities, they need to be top of their field and able to stretch even the most able geeky teens!

We also employ experienced managers, who are often teachers. As well as running the events, they're paediatric-trained first-aiders and in charge of pastoral care.

All our staff are rigorously vetted, and of course have current DBS and reference checks.
