At Pixel Academy, we are passionate about inspiring the next generation of innovators through hands-on learning in coding, robotics, artificial intelligence, and more. We specialize in creating dynamic, future-ready learning environments for K-12 students, aligned with the latest educational standards and frameworks.
We are looking for enthusiastic, part-time STEM Instructors to lead engaging 60–90 minute classes, clubs, and camps held after school, on weekends, and during school breaks. You will guide small groups (6–12 students) through interactive lessons that turn abstract concepts into tangible creations—robots that race, apps that solve problems, or experiments that launch rockets.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver pre-written curricula in coding (Scratch, Python, Java), robotics (LEGO Spike, VEX, micro:bit), or engineering/design challenges.
- Adapt pacing and examples to student ages (Grades K-2, 3–5, 6–8, or 9–12) and experience levels.
- Maintain a 6:1 (or better) student-to-instructor ratio; provide individualized support and safety oversight.
