My kids have done 4 classes and they have had amazing experiences. The teachers are engaging and the activities are creative. Great summer time learning!
...Nerding is an amazing program. Niecy and Micah have made an incredible program for “nerdy” kiddos to learn and play and my own children LOVED every minute.
...My son loves the Nerding classes! So awesome they offer them during the summer too! Highly recommended!!
...Nerding has been the greatest influence on my daughters every summer! They always look forward to summer because they know that also means nerding! They learn, they play, they have fun-and it gets them engaged in science outside of Nerding as well! I highly recommend signing your kiddos up for a class! The teachers are […]
...My son loved his superhero’s gadgets classes! He was always so excited to show off what he learned and made from each class. The instructor was super cool and had great energy.
...It’s evident that the Nerding team effectively leverages the creative minds of some of our most passionate teachers to facilitate these fantastic summer camps. It’s no doubt the kids have a lot of fun! Our kiddo enjoyed coming home with fun builds and crafts every day. As a parent, I truly appreciated the accessibility of […]

Our classes are designed and taught by Professional Teachers with years of experience.
How we run classes at each grade level.
Our Little Nerd classes are engaging and exciting and vary greatly in content and structure, but in some form there is always an engaging, interactive lesson from the teacher, guided practice, and independent or small group work with help and support from peers and staff.
We usually begin the day with a team building activity and move into our first lesson. Next is a hands-on activity or project. Halfway through the class, kids will take a brief recess and snack break. A second lesson follows break and the kids will do another project/activity or continue one they were working on.
Bottom line: It’s hands-on, interactive, fun learning.
Our Big Nerds classes have 2 types: regular classroom classes and computer lab* classes. The regular classroom classes run very similarly in format to the Little Nerds classes, essentially lesson, building/work, break, lesson, building/work. It’s always fun and engaging with hands-on projects!
Our computer lab* classes are Graphic Design, Virtual Reality, Coding Games, and 3D Printing. All of them require design or coding software that we provide account access for. The class will be based around learning that software to design or code the assigned projects. In addition to instruction on the software, all of these classes include lessons about how to connect what we are learning to the real world. There may be some building of physical projects mixed in, and we will certainly take breaks, but the majority of the class is spent working in the lab.
*We strongly recommend against taking 2 computer lab classes in the same week. It’s too much sitting and screen time! Mix and match with a non-computer lab class if your nerd stays all day!
Everyone Brings Water Bottle & Snack
We strongly suggest each child have a water bottle and a snack. We have snack breaks during each class. If you are looking for a new water bottle might we suggest the NERDING water bottle! You can pick it up on your first day of class!
