• Hands-on Crafting/Building Aptitude: Comfortable working with basic hand tools, simple circuits, motors, LEDs, and craft supplies (no advanced engineering degree required—we train you on our projects!).
• Behavior & Classroom Management: Strong understanding of child development, positive reinforcement, and active classroom management.

• Foster a Growth Mindset: Help students embrace trial and error, encouraging them to troubleshoot, rebuild, and learn from mistakes in a supportive environment.
• Classroom & Safety Management: Manage project supplies, supervise safe tool usage (including low-temp glue guns and wire strippers), and keep the workspace organized and clean.
• Encourage Individuality: Guide students to "go off-script" and decorate their creations using craft materials to express their unique personalities.
• Operations & Communication: Handle daily logistics including attendance, setup/cleanup, tracking materials, and keeping parents updated on their child's progress.

About Brooklyn Robot Foundry

Our mission is to share the fun of STEAM learning with children everywhere! We believe that kids learn best when they are having fun, making mistakes, and letting their imaginations run wild.
