Do you love sparking curiosity in young minds? Do you have a flair for the dramatic and a passion for making kids smile?
Mad Science of Washington DC is looking for fun, high-energy, and dynamic individuals to join our team of Workshop Performers! If you want a job where you can make things explode (safely!), inspire the next generation of scientists, and get paid to have fun, this is the ultimate gig for you.

  • The "WOW" Factor: You are outgoing, animated, and not afraid to be silly.
  • Flexibility: You have a flexible schedule and are looking for a rewarding side hustle rather than a strict 9-to-5.
