3D Printing Instructor (Part Time, After School, In-Person)

Position Overview

Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered 3D Design Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students. This course introduces learners to foundational 3D design concepts using Tinkercad, a browser-based 3D modeling platform. Students build spatial reasoning and design thinking skills by creating, modifying, and combining 3D shapes to produce original digital models.

Major Topics Can Include

• Navigating Tinkercad (workspace, view controls, basic tools)
• Creating and editing 3D shapes (move, rotate, scale)
• Alignment, duplication, symmetry, and precision design
• Grouping, combining, and using “holes” for subtraction
• Measurement, dimensioning, and designing to constraints
• Iterative design process (draft, test, revise, improve)
• File saving, exporting, and print-readiness basics (as applicable)
• Introductory design thinking and prototyping workflows
• Responsible technology use and collaboration norms
• Real-world applications of 3D modeling and 3D printing

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a 10-session course with clear objectives and engaging instruction in a computer-based classroom setting
• Teach students how to use Tinkercad to create original 3D designs, with appropriate scaffolds for varying skill levels
• Facilitate hands-on design challenges that build spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills
• Maintain a safe, inclusive classroom culture and support productive collaboration
• Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
• Adapt pacing and activities to match student readiness while maintaining course outcomes
• Support students in creating a culminating set of designs that demonstrates skill growth and applied learning

Qualifications (Required)

• Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
• Experience with or strong familiarity using Tinkercad and introductory 3D modeling concepts
• Interest and/or experience working with school-age students in structured learning environments
• Strong facilitation, communication, and classroom presence
• Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
• Comfort supporting students on Chromebooks or school-issued computers in a web-based design platform
