    Job Summary

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

    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:

    Facilitating a 60-90 minute after-school science enrichment program using a pre-set curriculum.

    Each session is a high-energy, part entertainment, part education, hands-on class that meets for 60-90 minutes each week for 6-12 weeks.

    Enjoy teaching young children the art of science!

    Qualifications:

    Some experience working with groups of elementary age (4-12) children (such as CDC instructor or camp counselor).

    Must be available at least three weekdays from 2pm - 6pm.

    Must have a reliable car.

    Must pass a criminal background check.

    Must be able to lift up to 45 lbs.

    Have a fun & outgoing personality

    We provide training on the curriculum, and provide all materials. Mad Science classes follow the school calendar and are presented year round. Working for Mad Science should be considered a source of supplemental income. We offer work based on an instructor’s availability, where they are located and what they have been trained on. It is important to note that most of our instructors typically work an average 2-4 classes a week—except when they are conducting summer camps. Because of this, Mad Science generally offers a great opportunity for a college student or someone who has another job that this work will not conflict with. This is part-time and rewarding work if it fits with your schedule and lifestyle.
