What makes being a "Mad Scientist" a GREAT job?

Job Summary
At Mad Science, we are having a BLAST! We pay you to have fun! Build and fly rockets, demonstrate lasers, explore the states of matter using dry ice, and help children create slime and other polymers. You will inspire the next generation of scientists through our innovative activities that show kids what science is really all about. You will lead students through an inquiry-based discovery method involving instructor demonstrations, hands-on activities, and amazing take-home projects that will illustrate how science affects the world around us. Mad Science is the world's leading provider of fun science programs for elementary-aged children.

This is a part-time position, and is somewhat seasonal. Pay for all Areas of Business (AOB) is hourly including set-up and clean-up time. Starting pay is $22.50-$28.00 per hour DOE. If you teach 5 one-hour classes per week you will make approximately $225-$280 per week. There are some opportunities for more classes/hours in the morning hours for those with the availability.

We are looking for support for current programming, but will be transitioning to summer programming by late May/ early June!! We are looking for energetic individuals to join our growing team to conduct exciting science, engineering, and technology programs during after-school and morning time slots.

  • Be on time for all scheduled activities.
  • Adhere to strict safety and cleanliness guidelines.

Qualifications:

  • Must be available a minimum of two consistent weekday afternoons from 12:00 - 5:00 PM. While this is a part-time position, it is critical that you are able to commit to the length of any given program (camp session, after-school program, etc.), and that you are able to give us steady weekly availability.
  • Some experience working with/ teaching groups of elementary-age (4-12) children (such as an after-school teacher or camp counselor).
  • Must have a personal vehicle, as you will be transporting equipment and conducting programs across our territory.
  • Minimum of 1 year of college suggested. Degrees and/or graduate degrees are a plus.
  • Maintain a fun, flexible, & outgoing personality!
