Original posting
BlockSchool | Kids Coding Instructors | REMOTE ONLY
Description: BlockSchool is the 1st online coding school for kids ages 7+, and we teach students in 3 countries (US, China, and India). We are hiring young teachers from top 100 US colleges who are (1) AMAZING with kids, (2) engineers (don't need to be a software engineer though), and (3) available to teach 10 hours per week. Each class is scheduled, 40 minutes long, and requires a stable Internet connection.
Our curriculum combines Puzzle, a Scratch-like language, with a 3D block world similar to Minecraft. While in alpha, we use Code.org and Scratch too.
*Pay is $30 per hour, and some equity, even though you won't be a full-time employee.

Technologies: You must be extremely comfortable teaching/using Scratch mainly. Certain advanced students will require you to know JavaScript too.
