We are seeking an enthusiastic, curious, and engaging instructor to lead Mission Mystery, a hands-on science enrichment program for 1st and 2nd grade students in San Francisco. In this interactive STEM program, students become junior science investigators, using observation, experimentation, evidence, and logical reasoning to solve age-appropriate mysteries. Topics may include fingerprints, chromatography, handwriting analysis, invisible messages, mystery powders, patterns, measurement, and microscopy. The emphasis is on scientific inquiry and discovery, not crime or graphic content. Students learn how scientists observe carefully, gather information, test ideas, compare evidence, and reason toward conclusions. Curriculum and lesson materials are provided. This role suits educators, college students, recent graduates, science majors, STEAM instructors, and youth enrichment professionals who enjoy making science exciting for children. Schedule: Tuesdays, 2:10 PM to 3:10 PM. Start date September 1, 2026.
What we’re looking for
Experience working with early elementary students, particularly 1st and 2nd grade. Interest or background in science, biology, chemistry, forensic science, STEM/STEAM, or education. Strong classroom management and communication skills. Comfortable leading hands-on experiments and investigative activities with young children. Reliable, organized, punctual, and professional. Able to commit to the Fall 2026 schedule.
