Job summary

Galileo Learning in the Bay Area seeks a Curriculum Developer to design imagination-sparking STEAM projects and curriculum. You’ll carry ideas from prototype to facilitation guides and may deliver instructor training.

Collaboration with Educational Product and Supply Chain teams is essential to ensure materials meet program constraints. The role demands serious creativity, field testing, and the ability to iterate based on instructor and student feedback.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience to demonstrate subject matter expertise in education, art and design, engineering, or related fields.
• 3+ years in educational settings, specifically designing hands‑on activities that engage students in creative problem‑solving.
• Experience creating multimedia content, including basic photography and video production.
• Understanding of K-8 enrichment environments, educator needs, and kids’ developmental capacities.
• A deep well of STEAM project ideas and a proven track record of bringing those ideas to life.
• Experience meeting regular deadlines in a dynamic, fast‑paced production environment.
• A track record of developing clear instructional materials and effectively communicating complex ideas.

Responsibilities

• Dream up, tinker, and perfect hands‑on STEAM projects that inspire kids, delight their families, and differentiate Galileo programs from the rest.
• Test activities in classroom settings to refine lesson pacing and project steps, and ensure building techniques are age‑appropriate.
• Specify the materials needed for each project — down to the exact number of craft sticks and inches of tape. Collaborate with the Supply Chain team to approve samples and meet all program constraints.
• Create clear, multimedia facilitation guides that are grounded in the Galileo Innovation Approach and support instructors to implement the program with ease.
• Design — and sometimes deliver — instructor training that builds excitement for Galileo’s programs and prepares facilitators to deliver them with fidelity.
• Get out in the field to observe the programs in action. Talk with instructors about what is and isn’t working, and obsess over survey data and customer feedback.
• Support a range of Educational Product team priorities as needed and take initiative to expand into new areas of Educational Product design.
