Apply to be a Kopernik Educator
Are you a K-12 educator who loves teaching science? Are you a retired teacher looking to be part of a community of educators who value designing learning experiences that delight and excite young people? Are you a working teacher who would like to do more to provide young people with informal learning experiences – weekend workshops and summer camps – where you can share your passion for STEM education? Kopernik is the place for you!
Now more than ever, STEM education needs to inspire this generation of young people to be forward-thinking leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This year, as Kopernik Observatory celebrates its 50th year as a science education center, we are expanding our educational programs and outreach to meet this mission – to inspire and excite young people as the designers of our future.
Come be a part of our team! Kopernik offers flexible hours based on your schedule and areas of interest. We offer compensation for the planning of curriculum with our team of educators, training in existing school programs, and the teaching of student groups at our Vestal campus and in area schools.
Importantly, Kopernik gives educators the opportunity to experience the greatest gift our profession provides – the delight in helping young people learn and grow.
