We are currently hiring 1 or 2 teachers to work with children after school and on weekends to teach coding, robotics and science. This is a great position for education students, teacher assistants, retired teachers, teachers taking a break from the classroom or current teachers who want to bring something different to their after-school program.

If you have a passion for working with elementary children and are looking for a flexible afternoon schedule, this is a perfect opportunity earn supplemental income while having a lot of FUN.

Bricks Bots & Beakers (B3) is an exciting education company that creates meaningful opportunities for children to experience a full range of STEM classes, camps, parties and workshops. The B3 after school program uses session-based classes, which can vary from 5 to 12 weeks in length. Classes focus on one of three different areas: BRICKS – Engineering using LEGO and other materials, BOTS – robotics and programming and BEAKERS – science activities. Some of our favorite classes include Gross Out Chemistry (BEAKERS), Elementary Engineering with LEGO Machines (BRICKS) and Battle Bots (BOTS). While our classes are educational, an emphasis on fun, engaging activities is extremely important.

As a B3 teacher you will teach STEM skills and concepts to develop 21st century learners. Weekly classes are held at local elementary schools or at B3 located in Washington, NJ. Most classes are held between 2 pm – 7 pm. For classes at local schools, teachers typically need to be on location 15 minutes prior to dismissal, will teach a one-hour class, and remain on location for another 15 minutes after the end of class. Depending on the class, a one-hour class requires 1.5 to 2 hours of work per week (including prep, set-up and clean-up). Classes at B3 generally last an hour per class. There can be up to 3 classes per day as well as classes on Saturdays. Ideally, you would be able to teach at least 2 days per week. You don’t have to know science and robotics to teach our classes! But you do need a love of teaching and learning! We will provide all the curriculum, materials and training you need.
