- Lead students in building their own games and animations using Scratch
- Assess and evaluate student progress through various methods, providing constructive feedback to support academic growth
- Collaborate with colleagues, parents, and administration to promote student success and address any challenges that arise
- Maintain accurate records of student attendance, grades, and performance metrics
What We’re Looking For
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
