  • Ability to provide clear instructions while allowing students room to create independently.
  • Enthusiastic, dependable, patient, and professional.


Preferred:


  • Experience with LEGO-based enrichment, STEM programming, makerspaces, engineering activities, camps, or after-school programs.
  • Current college student or degree in Education, Engineering, STEM, Art, Architecture, Technology, or a related field.
  • Experience designing hands-on activities for children.
  • Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.


Schedule:

Part-Time | Specialty Instructor


Approximately 1–2 afternoons per week during the school year.


Typical instructional block: 4:00 PM–5:00 PM.


Schedule may vary based on program enrollment and enrichment rotation.


Compensation


Competitive hourly rate based on experience and qualifications.


What We’re Looking For


We’re looking for someone who enjoys building alongside children and can turn a box of LEGO bricks into an engaging learning experience. The ideal instructor is creative, energetic, organized, and skilled at encouraging students to experiment, collaborate, and bring their ideas to life.


Why Join U1 Sports?


This role gives you the opportunity to help students develop creativity and problem-solving skills through one of the most accessible forms of hands-on learning: building and creating.


To Apply


Please submit your resume and a brief introduction highlighting your experience working with children and leading LEGO, STEM, engineering, makerspace, or other creative building activities.
