Volunteer: STEM and STEAM Enthusiasts & Instructors Needed!
📋 Role Overview & Responsibilities
STEM Kids NYC is a 501(c)(3) education company that provides a year-round, intensive suite of STEM education programs for K-12 scholars. Our core programs foster STEM skills development, an understanding of the importance of STEM as a way to solve the world’s major problems, as well as an interest in STEM electives, majors, and careers. We’re comprised of educators, engineers, and computer and systems programmers,
What sets us apart from companies that offer similar services is that we seek to provide a weekly STEM program that is integrated into a school's curriculum, or in an afterschool setting. Though we offer summer camps, our focus is primarily on exposing students to STEM skill building programs throughout the school year.
We're looking for STEM and STEAM enthusiasts who have the ability, fluidity, and patience to work with students in grades 1-8 with instruction on app development, website development, robotics, game development, science or engineering and design and maker space hacktivities.
You will be on the cutting edge of teaching STEM concepts, as less than 10% of New York City and Northern New Jersey public schools have a computer science curriculum, much less an engineering one! What's more, only 10% of US schools have a computer science curriculum.
You will utilize the existing creativity that already exists within the spirits of students, as well as their knack for apps, video games, tinkering, and making, and channel this energy into supporting them in learning skills that may lead to their becoming more interested in the wonderful world of STEM.
If you are into Scratch, Arduino, JAVA, or HTML, engineering, this is a PLUS. Come contribute your mastery to increase the interest in STEM or STEAM in our students in Hoboken New Jersey.
This is a volunteer opportunity provided by VolunteerMatch, in partnership with LinkedIn for Good.
