Come join our growing Dover, NH team!

Position Overview

The primary responsibility of a Snapology Instructor—also known as a Snapologist—is to lead engaging, hands-on programs at our Dover Discovery Center and partner locations throughout the region.

Using LEGO® bricks, robotics technology, and other creative learning materials, Snapologists help children develop creativity, teamwork, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills while exploring S.T.E.A.M. concepts: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Curriculum, lesson plans, materials, and training are provided to help every instructor succeed. Programs are offered for children ages 2–14, although instructors are not necessarily required to teach every age group.

Instructors must be willing and able to travel to partner locations throughout our territory, including Barrington, Dover, Durham, Lee, Madbury, Newmarket, Nottingham, Portsmouth, Rollinsford, and Somersworth.

This position requires strong collaboration and communication with Snapology leadership and fellow team members. Snapologists must also represent our organization to children, families, and community partners with enthusiasm, warmth, and professionalism.
