September Field Trip Educator
Department: Innovation Academy
Reports to: Innovation Academy Manager
Status: Seasonal
Pay Range: $20- $30/ hr
The Role:
We’re partnering with Alexandria City Public Schools to host a series of 8th-grade field trips focused on robotics and coding. These hands-on learning experiences are designed to inspire students and introduce them to real-world applications of STEM.
We’re looking for energetic, reliable instructors to help teach students how to program and assemble CuteBots—a beginner-friendly robot car that uses drag-and-drop block coding through Microsoft MakeCode. You don’t need prior experience with CuteBots; I will provide full training and hands-on practice before your first field trip. During the training, you'll learn how to:
Code a CuteBot using MakeCode
Troubleshoot common issues
Guide students through collaborative robot assembly
Lead engaging, student-friendly lessons
Field Trip Details:
Duration: Timeframe 8:30 am-2:00 pm
Location: Building Momentum The Garden 5380 Eisenhower Ave Suite C, Alexandria, VA 22304
Dates: Throughout September 2025
Support: All lesson plans and materials are provided, and each session is supported by our full-time education staff
This is a great opportunity to gain experience in STEM education, work with a creative and mission-driven team, and have a real impact on local students.
Let me know if you're interested and available—I’d love to send you more information and get you scheduled for a training session.
