Workshop Facilitator Application

To accommodate the increased interest in working with the studio, we'll now be employing workshop facilitators. A workshop facilitator volunteers to teach a weekly evening class (things like Basic Electronics, Intro to Arduino, Woodworking, Rocketry, Knitting, etc) in exchange for 24hr access to the studio, personal training on all of our machines, and the chance to get involved in a great campus movement.

You will be responsible for curriculum. However, the studio will help with any supplies needed to run a successful class. The class does not have to be the same every week. i.e. it could involve a progression (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Workshop Facilitators will work with our director of programming to schedule classes at their convenience and develop some great programs! Keep in mind that if the studio does not currently have the proper equipment/facilities to run a class we may still be able work it out so please apply.
