History
Established in 2007.
Originally founded by Toby Foote, Classroom Antics started as an after-school robotics club at his kid's school in Brunswick Ohio to gauge the interest of children and parents in technology education. After a few seasons of continued support, Toby hired staff to start summer camps in other areas of Cleveland. As the program continued to grow, the hobby turned into a company, and the Cleveland programs turned into Ohio programs as the organization expanded to Columbus and Cincinnati.
In 2021 Sheri Niedermyer purchased Classroom Antics and continues to run the same great programs that she had started teaching in 2013.
Meet the Business Owner: Sheri N.
Sheri Niedermyer, along with her husband Jim, is the owner/director of Classroom Antics. After sending her son to camp in 2012, Sheri interviewed and joined the company the following year.
Starting originally as a Lead Camp Instructor with numerous positive reviews, Sheri quickly became one of our favorite Camp Managers. Sometimes, we are lucky to find the place we excel best, and Sheri was quick to find her best place at Classroom Antics.
Prior to owning Classroom Antics, Sheri taught math and computers in several Christian schools. She has taught in Connecticut, Maryland, Hawaii and Ohio. Her love of coding started in high school with the cliché BASIC “Hello World”. Since then Sheri has taught programming to all ages – adults to elementary schoolers. Her favorite achievement was when her high school team won first place at a C++ programming competition in Connecticut.
Leaving the teaching world was a tough choice, but running Classroom Antics is not!
