After-School STEAM Instructor

About the Role
Snapology of Harvard is hiring enthusiastic, reliable, and engaging Lead and Assistant STEAM Instructors for our Fall 2026 programs. Classes begin in late September and early October and take place at schools and community locations throughout the area.
Our programs give children the opportunity to explore robotics, engineering, LEGO® building, coding, science, and technology through fun, hands-on activities.
We are looking for instructors who can make a consistent commitment to a weekly class series. Children benefit from having a familiar, trusted adult leading their class each week, so instructors are expected to stay with their assigned course through the end of the session. Bonuses will be available to instructors who successfully complete the full series assigned to them.
