STEM Summer Camp Instructor
Description
Where education meets innovation. At Circuit Stream, we offer skill-based, online programs for adults ready to upskill or reskill and an innovative summer camp experience for youth in fields like technology, business and healthcare. We partner with the best universities in North America to deliver hands-on, applied learning that opens doors to future opportunities. Whether you're building your career or helping others build theirs, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment that values innovation, results, personal growth, and a collaborative team culture.
We are looking to hire 2 STEM Summer Camp Instructors who are excited to teach, guide, and inspire kids ages 6–13 through hands-on engineering, coding, science, and creative technology activities. This role is ideal for a senior undergraduate student, recent graduate, or early-career STEM generalist who loves working with kids and can bring energy, patience, and curiosity into the classroom every day.
This role will take place over the duration of Summer 2026 from July 13 to August 21 at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School near Okotoks (98136 24 St W #20, Foothills County, AB T1S 7A4). Candidates will need their own car to commute daily.
Why You'll Love This Role
We will provide the curriculum, lesson plans, materials, and training — your job is to bring the classroom to life.
You’ll help kids build confidence, try new things, solve problems, and experience STEM in a way that feels fun, accessible, and exciting. If you enjoy explaining ideas clearly, encouraging young learners, and creating a positive classroom environment, this role is a great fit.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Deliver hands-on STEM camp lessons for kids ages 6–13 using provided curriculum, materials, and activities
- Create a fun, safe, and welcoming classroom environment where every student feels included and supported
- Explain technical concepts in a simple, age-appropriate way that keeps kids engaged
- Guide students through projects, challenges, and activities in engineering, robotics, coding and general STEM themes
- Encourage curiosity, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving throughout the camp day
- Support classroom routines, transitions, setup, cleanup, and basic student supervision
- Communicate professionally with camp staff and escalate student, safety, or classroom concerns when needed
- Prepare for each day by reviewing lesson plans, materials, and activity instructions in advance
What We're Looking For
- Currently completing or recently completed a degree or diploma in engineering, computer science, education, science, math, technology, or a related STEM field
- Genuine passion for teaching kids — you enjoy working with children and know how to bring warmth, patience, and energy into the room
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain concepts clearly to young learners
- Positive, coachable attitude — you are willing to learn, take feedback, and prepare well
- Comfortable leading a classroom, keeping students engaged, and maintaining a safe learning environment
- Basic STEM confidence: you do not need to be an expert in every topic, but you should be comfortable learning and teaching beginner-friendly STEM activities
- Reliable, organized, and professional — parents, students, and staff can count on you
Who This Is Not For
- If you are only interested in the technical content and do not genuinely enjoy working with kids
- If you are uncomfortable being energetic, social, and active in a classroom setting
- If you need every lesson to be fully familiar before you are willing to teach it
- If you struggle to take feedback, adapt quickly, or stay calm when working with children
What's In It For You
- A meaningful summer role where you can help kids build confidence and curiosity in STEM
- Provided curriculum, materials, and training – you will not be building the program from scratch
- Hands-on teaching experience in a supportive, fast-moving education environment
- The opportunity to strengthen your communication, leadership, and classroom management skills
- A team that values enthusiasm, responsibility, and care for students
