Q1RHZGJnUGRHc2lPWWxjVGE5NkV5L2VqNmc9PQ==
  • Concorde Education
  • Fairfield, CA

Job Description

Schedule: Typically 1 hour per week for 10 weeks (after school); exact days/times vary by assignment
Location: On-site at a partner school; varies by assignment
Start Date: Rolling openings based on school schedules

 

Position Overview
Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Robotics Coding Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students. This course introduces learners to foundational coding and robotics concepts through hands-on, beginner-friendly activities using classroom kits such as LEGO-based robotics, Sphero, Ozobot, and/or VEX (kit availability varies by site).

 

This is a beginner-level course designed for students with little to no prior experience. Instruction should emphasize safe equipment use, clear routines, and confidence-building practice with step-by-step coding challenges. The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student readiness and site logistics.

 

What You Will Teach
Students will learn basic programming concepts by controlling robots to understand how code translates into real-world actions. Depending on the kit and platform used, learners may engage in block-based coding, simple sequencing, loops, conditionals, debugging, and basic sensor-based interactions. Activities are designed to develop problem-solving, collaboration, and engineering habits of mind through structured build-and-code challenges.

 

Major Topics Can Include

  • Robotics safety, parts identification, and responsible equipment handling
  • Introduction to coding through robotics (what a program does; inputs and outputs)
  • Block-based programming fundamentals (drag-and-drop coding environments)
  • Sequencing and step-by-step instructions (movement and actions)
  • Loops and repeat patterns (efficient coding for repeated actions)
  • Conditionals (if/then decisions) and basic logic (intro level)
  • Debugging routines (test, observe, revise, try again)
  • Sensors and feedback (intro level, kit-dependent)
  • Engineering design process (plan, build, test, improve)
  • Collaboration and teamwork roles (builder, coder, tester, documenter)
  • Simple challenge courses (mazes, obstacle courses, line-following, missions)

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a 10-session beginner robotics coding course with clear objectives and hands-on learning
  • Teach foundational coding skills using the site’s available robotics kits and approved platforms
  • Demonstrate step-by-step builds and coding challenges, providing scaffolds for beginners
  • Maintain safe, organized routines for kit distribution, setup, clean-up, and storage
  • Facilitate inclusive participation and positive collaboration in small groups
  • Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
  • Adapt pacing and challenges to match student readiness while maintaining intended outcomes

Qualifications (Required)

  • Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
  • Experience with beginner robotics kits and/or platforms such as LEGO robotics, Sphero, Ozobot, or VEX (one or more)
  • Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, camp, after-school, tutoring, youth programs)
  • Strong facilitation skills, clear communication, and comfort leading hands-on STEM activities
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
  • Comfort supporting students on Chromebooks, tablets, or school-issued devices used to program robotics kits
