CSC seeks certified K-12 educators to teach engaging science classes during the school year for evening groups and during scheduled holidays.

During summer vacation, CSC also has opportunities for educators to teach throughout its annual Summer Fun Science Camp in June, July and August. Classes for youth in grades pre-K through rising ninth are Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. until noon.

You can apply using the application at the link above.

Review the position’s qualifications and if you meet them, include that fact in your cover letter and resume. For example, if the qualifications state: “Proficiency in Microsoft Office”, include the fact that you have such proficiency.

If the position announcement states: “Apply by sending cover letter, resume, and list of 3 references”, be sure to send a cover letter, resume, and list of 3 references.

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
