Primary Duties and Responsibilities: Museum Educators will support the coordination, set up and facilitation of 45 minute hands-on workshops for school groups of up to 60 students ranging from Pre-K – 12th grade. Pre-workshop, equipment and supplies will need to be set up and prepared. During the workshop, science equipment and tools will be used and the Museum Educator will engage the students in guided inquiry. Post-workshop, clean-up and inventory time will be assigned. This position may also include presenting special floor programs as assigned as well as the staffing of camp days throughout the year.
