STEM Program Lead, Maker Academy

Steamoji is a maker academy for kids ages 5–14 that develops future‑ready skills through hands‑on experiences in engineering, robotics, coding, AI, 3D design, digital fabrication and creative problem‑solving.

Our mission is to help children build the critical thinking, creativity, resilience and adaptability they'll need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We're looking for a passionate leader who enjoys working with children, mentoring team members, and helping build an exceptional learning environment.

This is more than a facilitator position. We are seeking a STEM Program Lead who can help lead our academy programs, coach other facilitators, ensure high‑quality student experiences, and support the growth of our academy. The ideal candidate enjoys teaching and inspiring children, while also taking ownership of people, processes, and program execution. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a larger leadership role within a growing education business.
