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 straightforward 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

Positive 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.
