iSTEMkids (formerly iSTEM Academy) is a small 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing "bingeable" STEM education for elementary students. Our curriculum integrates STEM with social responsibility, including micro-lessons on ethical consumption and production of technology and the stories of innovators who made contributions to STEM without proper recognition.
We are seeking a passionate Technology Specialist to join our team. As an iSTEM Technology Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in advanced troubleshooting, consulting for curriculum development in toy hacking and other projects, and evaluating existing robotics technology for potential modification, integration, and retrofits. Your expertise may also be requested when purchasing technology to support our program. This is mostly remote work, but you must live in the Portland / Vancouver area.
Preferences:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Proven experience in troubleshooting and maintaining technology systems.
Familiarity with robotics technology and programming languages such as Python, Java, and Arduino, or highly attractive alternatives.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively to solve technical challenges.

Thank you from all of us at iSTEM!

Mission Statement
iSTEM’s mission is to facilitate access to STEM education and increase digital and science literacy in young learners
Description
Since iSTEM held its first course, we've experienced a heartwarming and unexpectedly high demand for our services. We thank the local community, including Camas School District, and our students' parents for the incredible support.
In May of 2018, iSTEM offered its first class, "Custom 3D printed Fidget Spinners" to the Camas School District. Initially working with just 8 borrowed laptops, iSTEM quickly expanded to two school districts, 6 schools, and nearly 80 students. We've provided courses in 3D printing, 3D modeling, robotics, Minecraft modding, and graphic design. With the success and community support of our program, within just one year, we were able to invest in better equipment, additional courses, and an expanded staff.
In 2020, we shut down due to Covid. This was a time of false restarts, pivoting, and ingenuity, but we pulled through and are now emerging as a stronger, more adaptable company.
As we move through 2024, we are expanding into additional educational models and spaces, as we continue working to provide STEM education to all.
