Lego engineer / kids instructor

Post by The Dieselduck »

Are you a tinkerer? Do you enjoy taking things apart and then putting them back together? How about playing with LEGO®? Would you like to use a ridiculous amount of LEGO® materials to teach kids how the world works? If so, then this may be your dream job! 



Play-Well TEKnologies (http://www.play-well.org) is an educational enrichment company that introduces children in grades K-8 to STEM concepts using LEGO® components.

This part-time position includes teaching daily after-school programs with some weekday morning and weekend birthday parties throughout the school year, and full day camp programs during the summer.



Buckle up - this is hard work! Lugging 40 pound totes in and out of your car, leading excited kids through challenging projects, managing classroom conflicts, cleaning up all that LEGO® - this will be the toughest job you'll ever love! 



REQUIREMENTS:

Flexible schedule: availability during weekday afternoons and some weekends a must during school year, full weekdays during summer months.
Experience and passion for teaching K-8 students in a classroom or summer camp setting.
Engineering related coursework, interest and/or experience a plus!
Must have a reliable vehicle to transport teaching materials and commute to teaching sites.
Secure place to store Play-Well teaching kit.

This is a part-time hourly position, 15 - 20 hours/week (30-40 hours/week during summer). Play-Well pays a minimum of 3 hours per daily class session. Paid drive time over 1 hour round trip/day.

The successful Play-Well Engineering Instructor has...

Passion for kids and ability to quickly develop good rapport with children while maintaining discipline, and directing the design and building experience.
