Email

Are you studying Elementary Education, Science Education, STEM Education, or a related education field and looking for meaningful classroom experience?

Young STEAMers, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to inspiring the next generation of scientists through hands-on STEAM education, is seeking passionate education students to join our new Science & Literacy Academy (Sci Lit Academy).

This innovative after-school program serves 5th-grade students at a Title I elementary school through engaging, inquiry-based science lessons that integrate hands-on investigations, reading, writing, discussion, and scientific reasoning. While students prepare for the California Science Test (CAST), our broader mission is to help them develop the critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills that will support their success throughout their education.

About the Internship

Each class is co-taught by an experienced Young STEAMers instructor and a university education student. As an intern, you will receive ongoing mentorship while gaining authentic classroom experience in:

  • Inquiry-based science instruction
  • STEM teaching strategies
  • Lesson delivery
  • Classroom management
  • Small-group instruction
  • Student engagement and differentiated learning

Throughout the program, you will be supported by experienced educators, including our Chief Programs Officer who will provide coaching and professional guidance.

Fieldwork Opportunity

This internship is designed for students pursuing careers in education and may qualify toward your fieldwork, practicum, or student teaching requirements, subject to approval by your university.

We're Looking For

Current undergraduate or graduate students majoring in:

  • Science Education
  • STEM Education
  • Elementary Education
  • Multiple Subject Teaching Credential Program
  • Liberal Studies with a teaching pathway
  • Or another education-related program with a strong interest in teaching science

Ideal candidates are:

  • Passionate about working with elementary-aged children
  • Interested in inquiry-based science education
  • Strong communicators and collaborative team members
  • Reliable, enthusiastic, and eager to learn

 

This is more than an internship, it's an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students while building the skills and confidence needed for a successful teaching career.

If you're passionate about inspiring young learners through science, we'd love to hear from you!
