Robotics Education Advocate

Cubelets are modular robotic building blocks that make complex systems tangible.

Snap them together and learners start exploring feedback loops, emergence, logic,and computational thinking — through direct experimentation, not instruction. Usedin classrooms, libraries, and museums worldwide, Cubelets give educators a rigoroustool for systems thinking, not a decorative one.

This is not a traditional sales role.

The Robotics Education Advocate works at the intersection of robotics, education,and outreach — supporting pre-sale, in-sale, and post-sale engagement with educators and administrators. The central challenge: helping people who already value STEM seewhere Cubelets fits, not as an "extra," but as infrastructure for teaching feedback loops, logic, and computational reasoning within real classroom constraints.

The role demands Broadway-level preparation and improv-stage execution: deep product and programming fluency paired with live, thoughtful conversation in fluent edu-speak.

Your audience is roughly 80% teachers and digital librarians, 20% administrators,museums, and libraries.

A note on how we work: AI is an active part of our workflow — not anovelty, not optional. Whether you're drafting outreach, building lesson content, ormining data for insights, you'll use AI tools regularly and enthusiastically. If that'snot you, this team isn't for you.

• Research who to contact, when, why, and how — then build and execute complex outbound strategies
• Run cold email and cold-calling campaigns using AI tools and platforms like Apollo
• Engage inbound educator leads and support active sales conversations
• Re-engage existing and lapsed customers with intention and care

• Build advanced Cubelets constructions, including programming in Cubelets Blockly and C
• Translate robotic models into classroom-ready language and lesson ideas
• Connect complex systems behaviors to standards-aligned instructional concepts
• Invent new robot builds that surface deeper CS concepts live, in conversation
• Lead professional development webinars for prospective and new customers
• Create crosswalks between Cubelets content and customers' existing curriculum maps
• Develop and model respect for classroom realities and educator constraints

Key metrics include outbound attempts, meetings booked, quotes opened and closed,webinars delivered, attendees reached, robots built, and content created.

This role begins with a three-week paid immersion (20 hrs/week) — structured rehearsalbefore opening night. You'll build complex robotic models, deepen programming fluency,and practice educator-facing outreach in a supported environment. The immersion is bothdevelopmental and evaluative; continued engagement follows demonstrated mastery of training milestones and readiness for independent execution.

• Early-career (0–3 years post-graduation or equivalent)
• Solid CS foundation: comfort with loops, conditionals, and logic gates
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Comfortable engaging via phone and email with educators and administrators
• Self-motivated, with a process-improvement mindset

• Phone-a-thon, cold outreach, or customer-facing experience (retail, front desk, recruitment, service)
• Tutoring, mentoring, or any educator-facing work
• Exposure to robotics, physical computing, or maker environments

You don't need a sales background. You don't need to be a senior engineer. You doneed to be someone who excites us — curious, creative, and ready to learn fast.
