Teach a STEM class to children

As an online volunteer teacher, you will be responsible for running an eight week long online class. This includes leading the two weekly synchronous classes (either on Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday), evaluating student homework (assigned between each synchronous class) and managing teacher’s assistants. It will be your responsibility to ensure that the class runs smoothly and take care of any issues, whether related to student behavior or errors in code. You must possess strong leadership skills and a high level of independence. Our current curricula for online classes are the Scratch Jr. Curriculum (for K-3rd graders), Scratch Curriculum (for 4th-6th graders), Python Curriculum (for 6th-8th graders), and CAD Curriculum (for 7th-8th graders). You are expected to have mastered the curriculum they teach. Volunteers are expected to commit for the duration of an eight-week long session, with approximately three-five hours of work per week (two one hour long synchronous classes, reviewing homework and answering student questions in between). We will work with your schedule in scheduling class times.

Requirements:

• Rising 10th grader in high school or above (exceptions may be made to rising 9th graders with a strong volunteering/teaching background)
• Mastery of any of the platforms used for any of Robotics for All’s in-person curricula (Scratch Jr., Scratch, Python, CAD)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team
