Position Information

The Science House (TSH) is the College of Sciences statewide K‑12 STEM outreach unit. Established in 1991, TSH is a national model of university collaboration between university departments, businesses, and the K‑12 community. TSH’s mission is to collaboratively maintain and develop K‑12 teacher and student programs that inspire a passion for STEM learning, research, and discovery. The four strategic priorities are:
1) Teacher Professional Development focused on engaging instructional practices, emerging technologies, guided inquiry, and project‑based learning;
2) Student Programs that emphasize problem‑solving, applied learning, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and competition;
3) Rural Satellite Offices that provide professional development, student programs, and an equipment‑and‑technology loan program in rural, high‑need areas; and
4) Broader Impact Support that helps NC State faculty develop Impact Identities and carry out broader‑impact activities integrated with their research.

The Science House’s Imhotep and Kyran Anderson programs introduce elementary and middle school students to STEM through inquiry‑based activities, field trips, presentations, and career exploration with STEM professionals. Kyran Anderson Academy is a one‑week, daily summer program for rising third‑through‑sixth graders. Imhotep Academy offers one‑week, daily summer sessions and fall and spring sessions for middle school students on Saturdays from 8:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Instructors may be hired for either or both camps.
