About Steamoji Newmarket

Steamoji Newmarket is a new skills-development academy for children ages 5–14, opening in September 2026. Through hands-on projects in coding, robotics, engineering, electronics, 3D printing and digital design, Steamoji helps children build technical skills alongside problem-solving, creativity, confidence and a growth mindset.

We’re looking for friendly, energetic and dependable Junior STEM Facilitators to join our founding team.

You do not need to be an expert in coding, robotics or engineering. Steamoji provides the curriculum, instructional materials and paid training. We’re looking for people who enjoy working with children, are curious about technology, learn quickly and can create a fun, encouraging and safe learning environment.

This role is particularly well suited to a high-school student or someone beginning their college or university studies who is interested in STEM, technology, education or working with children.

What you’ll do

• Support children ages 5–14 as they complete hands-on Steamoji projects and learning missions
• Work with small groups of students, providing guidance while encouraging them to think, experiment and solve problems independently
• Prepare for sessions by reviewing Steamoji instructional materials and becoming familiar with upcoming activities
• Help students safely use the tools, technology, equipment and materials required for their projects
• Encourage curiosity, creativity, perseverance and a growth mindset
• Prepare and organize learning materials, equipment and workstations
• Help maintain a clean, welcoming and safe academy environment
• Share observations about student progress with the Lead Facilitator or Academy Director and assist with parent feedback as appropriate
• Assist with free trials, demonstrations, camps, birthday parties and community events as needed

What we’re looking for

• Enthusiastic about working with children and helping them learn
• Friendly, patient and encouraging
• Responsible, dependable and able to follow instructions
• Curious about STEM and technology and willing to learn new skills
• Comfortable communicating with both children and adults
• Able to work collaboratively as part of a team
• Available for after-school weekday shifts and some Saturdays

Previous experience working with children through tutoring, coaching, camps, recreation, youth programs, or volunteering is an asset but is not required.

Basic coding, robotics, or technology knowledge is an asset, but a willingness and ability to learn is more important. Paid Steamoji training will be provided.

What you’ll gain

• Paid training in the Steamoji curriculum, tools and facilitation approach
• Hands-on experience with coding, robotics, engineering and other STEM technologies
• Practical experience working with and facilitating learning for children
• Opportunities to develop communication, leadership and problem-solving skills
• Experience helping launch and grow a new Steamoji academy
• Opportunity to progress into a Facilitator role as your skills, experience and responsibilities grow

Position details

• Part-time
• Approximately 8–15 hours per week
• Primarily weekday after-school shifts, generally beginning around 3:00 p.m., plus some Saturdays
• In person in Newmarket
• Training to begin as soon as possible in preparation for fall programming
