Experience with JavaScript, PHP, HTML/CSS, Python, or Java is especially helpful. You don't need to know everything—we value curiosity, resourcefulness, and the ability to learn alongside students. *A technical background.* A computer science degree or major is common among our coaches, but self-taught programmers are encouraged to apply. Experienced technology professionals looking to share their knowledge for a few hours each week are especially welcome. *A willingness to teach and mentor.* Previous teaching experience, particularly with children, is a plus. Experience with Scratch or other beginner-friendly coding platforms is also beneficial. *Education.* A high school diploma or equivalent is required. Schedule and Employment Details
