Westfield, NJ · part-time
We look for people who have actually built things, and who like children, in that order. You can be taught to run a room. You cannot be taught to find a gear train interesting.
Open now
Run weekly 90-minute classes of up to twelve children in engineering, 3D printing or LEGO robotics. Curriculum and materials are provided; you bring the room to life and help twelve people debug twelve different problems at once.
Lead a themed camp week for twelve campers aged 6-11: rocketry, robotics, renewable energy or light and optics. Mornings only, Monday to Friday, for as many weeks as suit you.
Support birthday parties and open makerspace sessions on Fridays and Saturdays. Set up, keep twenty-four children supplied and safe, help with the builds, and reset the room.
We add classes when we find the right person to teach them. If you have a subject you could run brilliantly for children (astronomy, chemistry, coding, woodwork), tell us what it is and how you would teach it.
What it is like
You are not lecturing. You give the idea in fifteen minutes and then spend an hour moving between benches asking better questions than the ones you are asked. The best days are the ones where nothing works first time and everyone leaves pleased anyway.

No cover letter needed. Three honest paragraphs beat a formatted CV.
