Tinkering School LA Assistant Facilitator in Palmdale reDiscover Center Pasadena is looking for paid and volunteer teaching staff to support for a summer Tinkering program in Palmdale. In our summer program we teach kids how to solve art and technical problems through building real things and the act of tinkering --iteratively building, testing, breaking, and rebuilding, to come up with a solution. This class will focus on using cardboard, found objects, hot glue, tape, etc. to solve exciting, challenging in-class problems. The Tinkering program runs mornings on Wednesdays and Thursdays from Jul. 5-Aug. 3 in Palmdale. The assistant facilitator will co-teach with the Lead Facilitator, who is an experienced staff member. Our staff is a mix of engineers, DIYers, tinkerers, and others who love sharing the joy of making things with kids and adults. We are seeking makers who like working and teaching kids. Applicants must be legally able to work with kids, be able to pass a background check, and get a TB test. Interested parties can send a resume and/or response to these questions to pasadena@rediscovercenter.org: 1. What is your experience working with and teaching kids? 2. What tools are you comfortable using? Tools may include screw drivers, power drill, sewing machine, stand mixer, hand saws, power saws, glue gun, paint brush, etc. 3. What do you like to make? 4. If you could make anything, what would it be? 5. Which weeks/days would you be available to teach? More on reDiscover Center Pasadena at http://rediscovercenter.org/pasadena
