Are you a tinkerer? Do you enjoy taking things apart and then putting them back together? How about playing with LEGO®? Would you like to use a ridiculous amount of LEGO® materials to teach kids how the world works? If so, then this may be your dream job!

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 LEGO® Engineering Instructors to deliver our great programs throughout Massachusetts, especially the greater Boston area and current high need in Worcester area. This part-time position includes teaching daily after-school 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!
