Curriculum Development Assistant (Young STEAMers Program Revamp)
Young STEAMers
Date: 13 hours ago
City: Fremont, CA
Contract type: Full time

Education in general, and STEAM in particular, is the gateway to children’s futures. Unfortunately, for some, this gateway is not accessible or inclusive, it does not meet their needs, and can have a long term negative impact on their future.
Providing equitable access to STEAM enrichment programs allows every student to receive the positive benefits and opportunities made available through STEAM.
Young STEAMers offers a unique STEAM enrichment program. It includes a variety of activities, events, and engagements with STEAM outside the curriculum and the traditional classroom setting. Our dream is to bring this program for FREE to every young child from at-risk, underserved, and underprivileged families. Our passionate instructors not only teach but are also role models that help kids realize their dreams and maximize their potential.
