    Job Summary:

    At Mad Science we are having a BLAST! We pay you to have fun! Build and fly rockets, demonstrate lasers, explore states of matter using dry ice, swoop into the world of insects, help children create slime and other polymers—and more. You will inspire the next generation of scientists through our innovative activities that show kids what science is really about.

    As a Mad Scientist, you will lead students through an inquiry-based discovery method involving instructor demonstrations, hands-on activities, and amazing take-home projects that will illustrate how science affects the world around us. Mad Science is the world's leading provider of fun science programs for elementary-aged children.

    Join us to help kids have fun, empowering experiences with science!

    We are currently looking for energetic individuals to join our growing team to conduct exciting science programs during after-school hours. You do NOT need to be a certified teacher, nor do you need to be a science major.

    Responsibilities:

    Facilitate one-hour, after-school science enrichment programs using pre-set curriculum.

    Run each class as a high-energy, hands-on experience—a hybrid of entertainment, education, and fun.

    Commit to the entire Fall session at whichever school(s) you’re assigned and agree to; each session meets on the same day each week for one-hour and sessions typically run 8-10 weeks.

    Enjoy teaching young children the art of science!

    Qualifications / Additional Details:

    Some experience working with groups of elementary age (4-12) children.

    Must be available at least three weekdays after 1 pm.

    Must have a reliable vehicle.

    A negative TB Test, and an FBI/DOJ Live-scan is required. If you do not currently have any of these, they may be obtained during your orientation period.

    Driving is required.

    Have a fun & outgoing personality.

    Able to learn independently and also proactively ask questions as needed.

    We train you in the curriculum and provide all materials. Mad Science classes follow the school calendar and are presented year-round. This is part-time and rewarding work if it fits with your schedule and lifestyle.

    Compensation starts at $11 per hour with a minimum of 4 hours per day for days with scheduled classes (even if you only have one class, you will be paid for 4 hours). Total hours vary and depends on your schedule and flexibility. This position also has advancement opportunities.

    Mad Science is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
