About Steamoji Newmarket
Steamoji Newmarket is a new skills-development academy for children ages 5–14, opening in September 2026. Through hands-on projects in coding, robotics, engineering, electronics, 3D printing and digital design, Steamoji helps children build technical skills alongside problem-solving, creativity, confidence and a growth mindset.
We’re looking for friendly, energetic and dependable Junior STEM Facilitators to join our founding team.
You do not need to be an expert in coding, robotics or engineering. Steamoji provides the curriculum, instructional materials and paid training. We’re looking for people who enjoy working with children, are curious about technology, learn quickly and can create a fun, encouraging and safe learning environment.
This role is particularly well suited to a high-school student or someone beginning their college or university studies who is interested in STEM, technology, education or working with children.
What you’ll do
- Support children ages 5–14 as they complete hands-on Steamoji projects and learning missions
- Work with small groups of students, providing guidance while encouraging them to think, experiment and solve problems independently
- Prepare for sessions by reviewing Steamoji instructional materials and becoming familiar with upcoming activities
- Help students safely use the tools, technology, equipment and materials required for their projects
- Encourage curiosity, creativity, perseverance and a growth mindset

- Responsible, dependable and able to follow instructions
