At Maker Nest Lab, we believe that every great invention starts with a "What if?" followed by a little bit of help. We are looking for an Assistant Instructor who lives for the hands-on hustle—someone who is just as comfortable troubleshooting a finicky 3D pen and printer filament and encouraging a nervous student to take their first cut on the bandsaw.

You are the essential link between a simple to complex technical lesson. You aren’t just a "helper"; you are the primary support system for our community, ensuring that every student feels confident, safe, and inspired from the moment they hold the equipment.

Your Mission

Your goal is to keep the lab’s creative engine humming and provide the "boots-on-the-ground" technical support that turns a frustrating roadblock into a breakthrough.
 

The Role: From Early Years to Advanced Design

You will be responsible for delivering engaging, age-appropriate sessions during after-school hours:

• Early Years (The 3D Pen Explorers): Introduce young children to spatial thinking using 3D pens. You'll help them develop fine motor skills while "drawing" their own toys and structures in mid-air.
• Primary (The Tinkercad Creators): Teach the fundamentals of 3D geometry and "block-building" logic using Tinkercad.
• Secondary (The Fusion 360 Engineers): Guide older students through professional-grade parametric modeling in Fusion 360, focusing on functional parts and complex designs.
• The Lab (3D Printing): Oversee the "print farm"—managing slicer software, changing filaments, and showing students how to troubleshoot their prints.

Hands-On Facilitation: Assist in the delivery of workshops by providing guidance, fun, and creativity to students as they move from 2D drawing to 3D equipment.

Lab Stewardship: Maintain a "Lab-ready" environment—resetting workstations, organizing tools, and ensuring consumables (3D pen, filament, 3D board) are stocked and ready.

The Troubleshooting Guru: Be the first responder for minor technical glitches, from clearing a nozzle clog to recalibrating 3D printer.

Safety Watch: Act as a vigilant eye on the floor, ensuring all student are following "best practice" safety protocols to keep the lab a productive, injury-free zone.

Who You Are

A "Swiss Army Knife" Maker: You have a foundational grasp of multiple disciplines—perhaps a mix of 3D pen and printing, basic Tinkercad program, mentoring, and kid friendly instructor.

A Natural Problem-Solver: You don't wait for instructions when you see a messy workbench; you take initiative to keep the space professional.

An Empathetic Teacher: You remember what it was like to be a beginner. You have the patience to explain a concept three different ways until it finally clicks for a student. Encourage student to redesign once they fail and learn the important word called “Resilience”
 

Schedule & Details

• Time: After-school hours (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM).
• Commitment: Part-time / Full-time (Depend on ECA Schedule)
• Location: International/ Local School Campus (Bangkok)

Requirements

Software

High proficiency in Tinkercad and Fusion 360.

Hardware

Hands-on experience with 3D pens and 3D printers.

Versatility

The ability to switch gears from "play-based learning" with 3-year-olds to "technical coaching" with 11-year-olds.

Patience

3D printing involves trial and error; you should be great at turning "failed prints" into learning moments.

Communication

Good command of writing and speaking English 

How to Apply

Send your resume and a few photos of 3D projects (your own or your students') to [email protected]

Safety First: As this role involves working with children, a valid background check/clearance is mandatory.
