• Bachelor's degree, diploma or current university study in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Education or a related field.
• Candidates with strong practical coding knowledge and teaching ability may also be considered.
• Previous experience teaching coding to children is preferred but not mandatory.
• Fresh graduates and final-year university students with excellent coding and communication skills are welcome to apply.

Experience with any of the following would be an advantage:

• Jupyter Notebook
• Game or animation development
• Arduino or robotics
• Raspberry Pi
