It's a part-time role with flexible after-school hours, perfect for someone who loves both technology and helping kids grow into confident, resilient creators.

Qualifications

• Comfortable and confident working directly with elementary-age kids in a group setting

• Patient enough to let a student struggle for a minute before jumping in to help
• Reliable and punctual for scheduled class blocks
• Prior teaching, coaching, camp counselor, or youth-program experience preferred but not required
• Must pass a background check and meet Missouri requirements for working with minors

Responsibilities
