Wonder-Space Counselors create a dynamic and energetic atmosphere that encourages students to become self-motivated and excited about learning.  Our small student to counselor ratio (6:1) provides ample time and opportunity for WS Counselors to interact one-on-one with each camper.  Not only do our counselors have a sound knowledge of the subject at hand, they LOVE to teach!
 
Name: Sara Mosher
School: Ohio University
Home Town:  Cincinnati, OH
Position: Counselor - Washington DC Camp
What I like about Wonder-Space: I started getting paid to make websites when I was in eighth grade because my computer teacher decided to train me and put me in charge of maintaining the school district's site. I've been grateful to that teacher ever since. I feel like Wonder-Space is a way to pay that gift forward - I'm excited to have the opportunity to teach kids such fun and useful skills.
About Me: I graduated from OU with a degree in Photojournalism a year ago. Since then, I've built and lived in an off-grid cabin in the woods of Hawaii, gone on tour playing twenty four gigs in two months (I'm a backup singer), and moved to Arlington. The things that I love include books, candy, and giraffes.

School: Duke University
Home Town:  Herndon, VA
Position: Counselor--DC
What I like about Wonder-Space: It gives kids a great opportunity to experiment with and explore computers and technology. It’s exciting to know that I can help provide that opportunity by teaching kids something I’m so interested in.
About Me: I’m an engineering major at Duke right now. During my free time I probably spend more time than I should toying with computers and electronics. My favorite video game is probably counter-strike. It’s old, but it’s still fun.

Name: Tony Santi
School: University of Texas at Austin
Home Town:  Houston, TX
Position: Counselor - Houston Camp
What I like about Wonder-Space: I like space, and I like wonder. I like video games,and I like passing on my knowledge. The thought that I could spend a summer doing all 4 blew my mind.
About Me: Some call me Tony. I have 3 life goals: Never die (so far so good), Grow an award winning beard (so far so good), and Become the greatest computer scientist alive (harder than it sounds). I watch a lot of anime in my off time, but don't call me on it, or I will deny it outright.

Position: Counselor - Houston Camp
What I like about Wonder-Space: I like the opportunity that these campers get. Computers are the future, and these campers will have a great advantage in the future, not to mention that they will be having fun along the way!
About Me: I am going to be a senior this fall. One of my very first memories includes a Nintendo. My favorite game of all time is Wii Fit because it is fun to play and encourages me to move my body and get some exercise. I approve of new innovative games that can help people, rather than provide entertainment alone.

School: Lonestar Cy Fair
Home Town:  Houston, TX
Position: Counselor - Houston Camp
What I like about Wonder-Space: This place provides an awesome experience for the campers. I have always loved technology and wish I had been able to go to this place when I was younger. Getting to be a part of sharing the fun and exciting world of technology is every techie's dream.
About Me: Everyone here calls me "Tank." I am an IT major going into my junior year. I keep an eye out on the market of cutting edge technology and spend time and money on dabbling with it all. I find myself spending a lot of time playing video games and upgrading my computer, as well as giving a helping hand to my friends and family with their tech issues. I do make sure to get my share of exercise outside as well!

Position: Counselor--Houston Camp
What I like about Wonder-Space: Wonder-Space is about learning, magic, fun, technology, and wonder. What’s not to like?
About Me: Born in a humble abode in southeast Houston, I quickly rose to prominence in the field of camp counseling. Attending Rice University and majoring in Chemical Engineering, I have focused on awkward sentence structure. I hope to graduate with honors and become an engineer. After that I want to end world hunger, cure cancer, reinvent sliced bread, and live a happy life. One out of Four would be cool too.

Name: John Wareing
School: Rice University (hoot hoot!)

Position: Head Counselor--Houston
What I like about Wonder-Space: Ruling with an iron fist. But actually, teaching kids how to build videogames all day is pretty sweet!
About Me: During the year, I am a junior mechanical engineering major at Rice. However, when summer rolls around, the sun's rays transform me into SuperJohn, a game designing wizard who uses his uncanny powers to defeat evil and blast children with his knowledge ray!

Name: Mitch Gist
School: Southern Methodist University
Home Town:  Flower Mound, TX
Position: Counselor--Dallas, DC
What I like about Wonder-Space: I think that Wonder-Space offers kids an alternative environment to foster their inner creativity. Although I am not really video gamer, Wonder-Space offers other creative venues such as digital video and photography that cultivate artistry in the kids.
About Me: I am currently a senior at SMU in Dallas. I will complete my degree this fall, and I'm currently applying to medical school for the fall of 2011. I enjoy sports of all kinds, and I am a huge supporter of my hometown Texas Rangers. As far as video games go, I love to play Madden of any kind, but all gaming conversation begins and ends with the Nintendo64. No doubt about it.

I've got an idea with friends also in the ATEC program that we're going to try to bring to fruition over the next few years.

Name: Raymond Whiteside
School: University of Texas at Austin
Home Town:  Plano, Texas
Position: Counselor--Dallas
What I like about Wonder-Space: I like about Wonder-Space: During the rest of the year school doesn't provide the technical abilities and modes of thinking required in today's world of technology, so it's great to have the opportunity to teach kids these valuable skills over the summer in such a fun way.
About Me: I currently attend school at UT Austin and am working towards a degree in Electrical Engineering. About the only thing I love more than harnessing the power of electronics to do my bidding is playing an intense game of racquetball.
