About This Roles
Are you
passionate about transforming how children learn? Do you thrive in hands-on,

floor with students, working alongside them, meeting them where they are, and
bringing learning to life through hands-on creation. Your energy, curiosity,

naturally
mirror what they see in you.
Workshops
take place in partner schools or at our facilities in Westlands. These are
six-week contracts with strong potential for extension based on your
performance and our program needs.
