After-School Cooking and Financial Literacy Instructor

Description

iCook / iSTEAM After School and MoneyBee Education is an innovative educational company that provides fun, hands-on after-school cooking, STEAM, and financial literacy education for children in grades K–4 and middle school students. Our programs focus on enriching the lives of children by teaching them to love everything about food — cooking, eating delicious and healthful dishes, and learning about different cultures and the stories behind the food.

The iSTEAM program focuses on hands-on and observable experiments. Instructors teach provided lesson plans related to the basics of Engineering and Technology, Chemistry, Science through Art, and beyond. MoneyBee Education incorporates age-appropriate financial literacy concepts through interactive activities that connect naturally to cooking, STEAM projects, and everyday decision-making, introducing ideas such as earning, saving, spending, goal-setting, and making thoughtful choices.

We are looking for people who share our passion for education, food, and, most importantly, making a difference in the lives of our little chefs.
