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!

School: Rice University
Home Town:  Friendswood, TX
Position: Counselor
What I like about Wonder-Space: The opportunity to learn all kinds of new and interesting programs, teach it to others, and get paid to do it at the same time. And the fact that the majority of it all involves video games doesn't hurt either.
About Me: I'll be a sophomore at Rice next year, majoring in Film. I read IGN.com daily to stay on up to-date on all the latest gaming news and am in the process of shooting my first real short film with my friends this summer. I also play flag-football and a variety of other intramurals during the school year. And I like to drink Dr Pepper. Yes.

School: Duke University
Home Town:  Houston, TX
Position: Counselor
What I like about Wonder-Space: Who wouldn't want to come to a summer camp that teaches you how to do all the cool things you see in computers, video games and the internet? I wish I had known about this program earlier so I could've participated as a camper.
About Me: I'm currently studying Electrical and Computer Engineering and Visual Arts. My immersion into technology started when I was at the ripe age of 4, and I've been editing my own games, learning how to program, designing websites, playing with on-screen media ever since then.

What I like about Wonder-Space: I love the learning environment and the people. The space provides a great place to interact and learn from one another. This FUN experience leaves a lasting impression on any future computer and/or game industry innovators.
About Me: In the fall, I will be a senior. I am currently applying for medical school. I am a product of a Nintendo upbringing. I still prefer 2D games over the high-quality, graphically superior, multi-dimensional games. Currently, my system of choice is the Nintendo Wii. I love to teach—helping others in their pursuit of knowledge and understanding. I have taught and tutored individuals of varying ages in a variety of subjects. I enjoy watching movies and reading, indulging when I can.
