Job description

The Mariners' Museum and Park's mission is to connect people to the world's waters, because through the water - through our shared maritime heritage - we are connected to one another. STEM is a key component of that connection to the water and shared maritime heritage. With a team of nine Educators and over 30,000 student engagements annually, the Education Department is committed to providing equitable access to a unique, engaging museum experience that enriches students' education. The Science Educator is a professional charged with working under the general supervision of the Education Manager to support the Museum's educational and interpretive mission to provide STEM-focused educational enrichment programs to K-12 students. Program formats include, at the Museum, in the classroom, virtual, and outdoors in Mariners' Park. The 550-acre Park and 167-acre Mariners' Lake provide a unique opportunity for students to connect with their local watershed in a real, tangible way.

Project components include students assisting in the establishment of a wildflower meadow while gathering data on how it will improve the health of Mariners' Lake.

Program Development
  • Collaborate with Senior Educators in conceiving, researching, developing, and modifying educational enrichment programs designed for a museum, outdoor, classroom, or virtual setting. Programs address elementary and secondary school educational objectives and learning standards.
  • Assist in integrating STEM-related skills and concepts into new and existing educational enrichment programs.
  • Collaborate with Senior Educators and other Mariners' staff in conceiving, researching, developing, and implementing specialized educational programming. This may include programming for after-school initiatives or grant-funded programming with external partners

Support the Education Department
