Science Discovery hires undergraduate Teaching Assistants (TAs) to work full-time during our 9-week summer program and to assist with a variety of other programs throughout the academic year. Summer program TAs participate in a full week of required training in preparation to support lead instructors in a variety of K-8 camps and high school classes for the duration of the summer. Summer programs take place in classrooms, laboratories and field sites throughout the CU Boulder campus and broader Boulder and Denver metro areas. Summer TAs can be part-time or full-time, depending upon the needs of Science Discovery and the preference of the TA.

Science Discovery TAs:

Love science and enjoy making it fun for others

Enjoy working with children of all ages

Are majoring in a STEM field

Are responsible, flexible and enjoy working with others

Looking for a shorter commitment during the summer? In addition to summer-long TAs, we recruit TAs to be involved with our 2-week summer STEM Academies for high school students. STEM Academy participants come from all over the world and reside in campus dorms while participating in the program during the month of July. TAs assist the STEM Academy program in running smoothly. Academy topics change slightly each summer, but typically include: aerospace and aeronautics, engineering, neuroscience, medical sciences and research, maker technologies, robotics and microbiology.

Teaching Assistant applications are accepted year round. Questions? Contact Anjali Maus via email.
