Overview

We are seeking an enthusiastic and creative STEM Teacher to join our summer teaching team. The ideal candidate will bring a passion for technology education and the ability to guide elementary students through the exciting worlds of 3D printing and Scratch coding. This role requires patience, creativity, and a hands-on approach to inspire young learners to think like engineers and programmers.

If you have experience in only one of these areas but are eager to teach both, let us know — we'd love to hear from you!

3D Printing

  • Experience with Tinkercad and Onshape for 3D modeling and design
  • Working knowledge of STL files and the 3D printing workflow
  • Strong understanding of iterative engineering and design thinking principles
  • Ability to teach 3D modeling and printing concepts to elementary-age students in a hands-on, project-based format

Scratch Coding

  • Experience using Scratch with a strong ability to create games and animations on the platform
  • Ability to teach block-based programming, computational thinking, and problem-solving concepts to elementary-age students
