Things to consider
TechSpark Academy recruits EPFL and ETHZ students to teach and mentor students.
As such, we are able to organize in-school sessions in locations proximal to these two universities only.
Please note that we are not able to organize any events that clash with student exam periods:
- EPFL: January to early February & mid-June to early July
- ETHZ: Mid-December to mid-January & early/mid- to end August
We do, however, organize camps and weekend workshops across Switzerland, and, depending on the location, are able to source from both EPFL and/or ETHZ.
Work with us
TechSpark Academy is constantly looking for talented and dedicated instructors who enjoy teaching juniors (8-12) and teens (13-18) across Switzerland at our camp locations and after-school activities. Our 2019 camp locations and dates are indicated below. Please check the individual camp pages on our website to see which courses are given at each location.
