You don't need to be a professional artist or experienced teacher. If you're creative, comfortable using a 3D pen, and enjoy helping children explore their ideas, you may be a great fit.

Curriculum guidance and instructional materials are provided, so you’ll have the support you need while still having room to bring your own energy and creativity to the classroom.

• Properly manage and care for 3D pens and classroom materials
• Communicate professionally with program coordinators and school staff
• Arrive prepared, dependable, and ready to create
