Want to spend the summer inspiring girls and non-binary kids to build their confidence in STEM? If you are passionate about working with kids, teaching science, and empowering the next generation of women in STEM, then Stellar Tech Girls is the place for you this summer!

 

About the Company: Stellar Tech Girls is a small, local company dedicated to increasing diversity in STEM by inspiring and empowering girls and non-binary kids ages 9 to 14. During the summer, we run half-day one-week camps with different scientific themes, so kids can come back throughout the summer to explore new topics. Our campers love meeting other girls who are passionate about science, learning from female role models in STEM, building hands-on projects, watching science experiments explode, and crafting with our colorful art supplies. We provide a fun, welcoming environment that encourages girls to build confidence and learn how to take on challenges by problem solving like an engineer. Our camps are run by our Founder & Program Director, a Lead Summer Science Educator, and a team of Camp Counselors. We are a close-knit team of women and non-binary folks who love inspiring middle school girls and know that confidence in STEM can set them up to be their best selves and change the world for the better.

 

About the Job: We are looking for a team of Summer Camp Counselors to run our half-day STEM camps throughout the summer. You will be working alongside a leadership team that includes the Founder & Program Director and a Lead Summer Science Educator. The Camp Counselor position is responsible for assisting campers with their daily science projects, creating an inclusive environment for all campers, and keeping the camp activities running smoothly.

This is a great summer job for high school or college students who are passionate about STEM, love working with kids, and want to join a community of like-minded people who are dedicated to increasing diversity in STEM. This position does not require previous work experience, but you must provide examples of leadership experience and references. If you are excited to join the Stellar Tech Girls team but are not sure if you have the qualifications, please reach out!
