Play-Well TEKnologies (http://www.play-well.org) is an educational enrichment company that introduces children in grades K-8 to STEM concepts using LEGO® components.

We are hiring additional smart, creative, dynamic kids' Engineering Instructors to join our team delivering our great programs throughout the Santa Barbara area including: Goleta and Carpinteria. This part-time position includes teaching daily after-school programs with some weekday morning programs and weekend birthday parties throughout the school year, and full day camp programs during the summer.



Buckle up - this is hard work! Lugging 40 pound totes in and out of your car, leading excited kids through challenging projects, managing classroom conflicts, cleaning up all that LEGO® - this will be the toughest job you'll ever love!
