This role is essential to our mission of providing an immersive Arts and Technology experience that prepares students for the secondary level and beyond.

  • Foundational Coding: Introduce students to the world of computer science through entry-level coding platforms like Scratch and Code.org, as well as simple robotics.
  • Project-Based Learning (PBL): Design and facilitate hands-on projects that allow students to solve problems and showcase their creativity.
  • Core Skills Instruction: Ensure students develop essential 21st-century skills, including touch-typing, digital citizenship, and online safety.
  • Instructional Leadership: Develop lesson plans that translate complex technical concepts into age-appropriate, engaging learning experiences.
