About
Summer Teaching
The details!
Ideal Candidates
You really do not need to be a tech, coding, or science expert! You do need to be a great teacher and, generally, an awesome human. We can get you up to speed on our class curriculum in just a couple hours, but we certainly can’t teach you to be an amazing teacher in that time. This is why we hire certified teachers. You are already awesome. We look for energetic and passionate teachers with a love for knowledge-thirsty nerds, and great classroom management skills.
What will you teach?
Choose from our many different class titles. It depends on what type of class sounds fun for you. You don’t need to be an expert in any of the related STEM fields the classes are based on. All of our classes are introductory and geared for grades 1-3 or 4-7. We have tech (computer/ipad) based classes as well as hands on building, STEM challenge, and experiment based classes.
Training
You are in good hands!! Niecy Westmoreland will go over the class with you. It only takes a couple of hours to learn the curriculum. We have plenty of support materials and video examples.
Once you know a class, you can teach it multiple times this summer and next! Our teachers often return the next summer and teach the same class.
Schedule
- Grades: Classes are geared towards grades 1-3, and 4-7.
- Capacity: Each class will have a max of 20 Nerds with 1 Teacher, 1 Teacher’s Assistant, and possibly 1 Volunteer.
- Class Length: 1 week, Mon-Fri. Same classes are available more than once over the summer. For example, we might run 3D Printing class 5 times. The same teacher usually teaches all 5 classes.
- Class Times: AM Class runs 9:00am-12:00pm. PM Class runs 1:00-4:00.
- Lunch Time: an assistant or other staff member watches the kiddos.

Why work for Nerding?
