Maydm: NOW HIRING: Programs Lead Instructor – Full-Time

A 501c(3), Maydm provides girls and youth of color grades 6-12 with the skills, experiences, and connections to pursue careers in and change the face of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). We envision a world where all students know that a career in STEM is possible for them; a world where all students can pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs, developers, engineers, or professors in a STEM field. 

Maydm, as an organization, was founded as a response to the overwhelming lack of technical training that meets the needs of low income students, girls, and youth of color. Our programs offer opportunities for youth to develop knowledge and skills in science, technology, and engineering. Throughout the year we offer one day workshops independently and in partnership with other community organizations. In these sessions, students gain introductory insights into a STEM topic and begin growing their interest in STEM. Each summer, we offer a series of multi-week immersive programs where students gain in-depth technical knowledge as well as go on site visits to local companies and engage in critical conversations on confidence and equity and innovation. These experiences create opportunities and experiences for students who may not have otherwise been able to participate in holistic STEM learning, for students to change the face of STEM.

We are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic instructor to deliver Maydm educational programs in house as well as on-site with our partner schools and organizations. Program topics include web development, robotics, game development, engineering, and more. We are also especially seeking women, people of color, and bilingual (i.e. English/Spanish, English/Hmong) candidates for this position. We strongly encourage you to apply even if you think you have some, but not all of the requirements listed below. You may be exactly what we’re looking for and if so, we’ll teach you the rest!

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree or comparable training or experience in education and instruction.
• Ability to work in a small, fast-paced nonprofit environment.
• Must have reliable transportation and be able to travel between Maydm’s office and offsite school-based and partner programs.
• Background in STEM required, including game development and one or more of the following: information technology, computer science, media arts and animation, or engineering and design.
• 3+ years of successful or demonstrable experience teaching one or more of the above subjects to an academically and culturally diverse classroom community.
• Demonstrated experience and maturity in managing a classroom of middle and/or high school students.
• Experience or knowledge of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion principles or willingness to complete DEI training (we provide the training as part of your mandatory training for the position)
• Technical industry experience is a plus.
• Bilingual (English, Spanish) preferred.

Responsibilities:
