About Us
Boston Youth Arts and Innovation (BYAI) is a growing learning center and makerspace dedicated to integrating STEM and the Arts.
Our mission is to inspire creativity, curiosity, and leadership in K–12 students through hands-on learning experiences that combine engineering, design, and artistic expression.
Through project-based learning and real-world making, students learn to design ideas, build prototypes, and turn imagination into reality.
Responsibilities
- Teach 3D design and printing courses for students in Grade K - 12
- Guide students in using 3D modeling software (such as Tinkercad or Fusion 360) to design their own creations
- Lead hands-on projects where students transform digital designs into physical 3D-printed objects
- Introduce students to the engineering design process: idea → design → prototype → improve
- Operate and maintain 3D printers (Bambu Lab) and digital fabrication tools
- Support students in creative projects such as toys, tools, architectural models, and artistic designs
- Collaborate with the curriculum team to improve lesson plans and develop new maker projects
- Create a safe, inspiring, and creative learning environment
Qualifications
- Experience with setting up and calibrating 3D printers (Bambu Lab)
- Experience with 3D modeling software (Tinkercad, Fusion 360, Blender, or similar)
- Familiarity with 3D printing technologies (FDM printers, slicing software, printer setup)
- Basic understanding of engineering design and digital fabrication
- Passion for working with children or teens in hands-on STEM learning
- Strong communication and classroom engagement skills
- A maker mindset: curious, creative, and enthusiastic about building and experimenting
Preferred:
- Teaching experience in STEM, robotics, engineering, or maker education
- Experience running maker workshops, STEM camps, or school programs
- Personal maker projects or a design portfolio
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly rate ($60–$80/hour, depending on experience)
- Access to a well-equipped makerspace with 3D printers and digital fabrication tools
- Teaching training sessions that can help instructors feel more prepared and confident for the future teaching
- A creative platform where instructors can design and test new projects
- Opportunities to collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of educators and makers
