About us

Professor Egghead Science Academy is a place where we do science. We get our hands messy, we build, mix, experiment, and we learn. We provide simple, real world explanations… which translates to real learning. Our mission is to bring science to everyone. That’s represented through our motto:

Make Science Accessible, Understandable, and Cool

Everyone can be a scientist. Your home is your laboratory, your school is your laboratory, and so is the beach, your backyard, and even your bedroom.

The key to our specialized curriculum is that it’s designed to engage kids in a short period of time while still leaving them with a concrete understanding of important scientific and engineering concepts and ideas. In this fast-paced world of high-speed everything, we value high quality in-person interactions to produce a new generation of thinkers and a community engaged with science.

WHAT WE DO:

Love working with kids and having a blast? Professor Egghead Science Academy is an awesome after school program that makes science accessible, understandable, and fun for Kids ages 5-10. We run hands-on science classes, camps, workshops, and birthday parties for children at different locations all over Los Angeles and Orange County. We're looking for AWESOME and ENTHUSIASTIC Professors for our program!

REQUIREMENTS:

1) Be FUN, have lots of ENERGY, and be POSITIVE. Improv Actors and those with outgoing personalities are perfect.

2) Have experience working with children in a group setting.

3) Have a consistently reliable way to get to and from job sites in a timely manner and transport materials (usually in a 2 x 3ft rolling bin).

4) Be able to commit to the full week (M-F) throughout Summer. There is always potential to continue to the next season in our regular after school programs. Must be able to commit to an entire semester of sessions; which is approximately 2-3 months depending on area and season: Winter (January-March); Spring (March-June); Summer (June -August); Fall (September-December).

5) Pass a background check.

You DO NOT need any background in science, just a great attitude, a natural curiosity and the ability to work well with children. We train you and training is paid!

For this specific Summer position you must be available all weekdays Monday-Friday from 9-3PM. Our Camps run every week in Summer. The majority of our weekly camps run 6hrs every day and a few camps are 3hrs on their camp week. If you meet all requirements, please apply with your resume.

Quality First - We strive to deliver our best every single time.

Own It - Make decisions, own them, and avoid inaction and excuses. Failing with Learning is growth.
