Gurugram · Part-time / contract

About the role
We’re looking for a science teacher who builds things. You’ll lead small groups of students in Grades 6–11 through hands-on projects. They’ll design, build, test and fix working machines, and learn the science behind why those machines work or fail.

What you’ll do
• Teach core science concepts through builds: sensors, circuits, forces, friction, gears and control logic
• Guide students to build working devices such as alarms, smart sensors and vehicles, and help them work out why a build failed
• Introduce programming (if/then logic, thresholds) and AI concepts, pitched to each student’s grade
• Take older students further, into CAD design, simulation and more open-ended engineering problems
• Run fair-test investigations: change one variable, measure the result, use the data
• Assess students’ skills against a simple rubric and give transparent, encouraging feedback
• Help students present their work confidently to an audience, including parents





What we’re looking for
• A degree in science or engineering (Physics, Mechanical, Electronics, Mechatronics or similar)
• Hands-on experience building machines or prototypes, such as robotics, electronics or mechanical builds
• Working knowledge of CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks); CFD experience is a plus
• Experience teaching or mentoring school children aged 11–17
• Excellent spoken and written English; able to explain complex ideas simply
• Patience with failure, and the ability to let students struggle productively instead of handing them answers

Good to have
• Experience with microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32 or similar)
• Experience with robotics and science competitions (Samsung Solve for India, Atal Tinkering Labs, INSPIRE-MANAK)

To apply: share your CV at and photos or a short video of something you’ve built or taught.
