Who thrives here Ages 13–17

iD Tech Camp - Game Development with Unreal Engine 5 at NYU - Washington Square serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options.

Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
