Turn Play Into Real-World STEM Learning
What if students could learn engineering, problem-solving, and coding by actually building things with their own hands?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic LEGO Robotics Instructor to lead an exciting, hands-on enrichment program this fall. You’ll guide students as they build and experiment with LEGO-based robots, explore how things work, solve challenges, and turn their ideas into working creations.
This is more than a robotics class. It’s an opportunity to help young learners develop creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, persistence, and confidence while having fun with one of the most engaging tools in STEM education.
You don't need to be a traditional teacher to thrive in this role. If you enjoy LEGO, robotics, engineering, coding, STEM, or simply love helping kids discover how things work, we’d love to hear from you.
Curriculum guidance, lesson plans, and instructional support are provided, so you can focus on what matters most: creating an exciting learning experience for students.
🤖 What You'll Do
- Lead engaging, hands-on LEGO Robotics sessions that encourage students to build, experiment, and explore
- Guide students through robotics projects involving building, mechanisms, sensors, motors, and basic programming
- Help students turn creative ideas into functional LEGO-based robots and designs
- Introduce age-appropriate concepts in engineering, coding, robotics, and problem-solving
- Challenge students to troubleshoot their designs, test solutions, and learn from mistakes
- Encourage teamwork and collaboration through group challenges and creative projects
- Adapt instruction to different learning styles, abilities, and levels of experience
- Create an inclusive classroom where students feel comfortable asking questions and experimenting
- Keep students motivated and engaged through challenges, demonstrations, and hands-on activities
- Provide encouragement and constructive feedback as students work through projects
- Maintain a safe, organized, and positive classroom environment
- Communicate professionally with program coordinators and school staff
- Arrive prepared, energetic, and ready to make robotics exciting
🌟 What We're Looking For
You don't have to be a robotics engineer or experienced teacher. We're looking for someone who can make STEM exciting and connect with young learners.
You could be a great fit if you have:
- A strong interest in LEGO, robotics, engineering, coding, STEM, or maker activities
- Comfort working with hands-on building projects and technology
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- An energetic, patient, and encouraging personality
- Ability to lead interactive activities and keep students engaged
- A willingness to learn and follow a structured curriculum
- Dependability, professionalism, and strong classroom presence
- Prior experience with teaching, tutoring, robotics, camps, youth programs, or coaching is a plus—but not required
Experience with platforms such as LEGO Education, SPIKE, Mindstorms, Arduino, Scratch, or similar robotics tools is a strong advantage.
🚀 Why You'll Love This Role
Competitive Pay
Earn $25–$35/hour, depending on your experience and qualifications.
Make STEM Hands-On
Instead of simply explaining concepts, you'll help students build, test, break, rebuild, and discover how things work.
No Starting From Scratch
Curriculum guidance, lesson plans, and instructional support are provided.
Build Your Own Experience
Develop valuable skills in teaching, communication, leadership, STEM education, and youth development.
See the “Aha!” Moments
Few things are more rewarding than watching a student's robot finally work after they've spent time troubleshooting and improving their design.
Be Part of a Supportive Team
You'll have program support while still having room to bring your own personality, creativity, and enthusiasm into the classroom.
🧩 Perfect For
- Robotics enthusiasts
- Engineering and Computer Science students
- STEM majors and recent graduates
- LEGO and maker enthusiasts
- Programmers and technology professionals
- Aspiring teachers and educators
- Robotics team members and mentors
- Camp counselors and youth mentors
- College students looking for meaningful part-time work
- Anyone who loves building, experimenting, and helping kids discover how things work
