About Code Ninjas

Code Ninjas is a learning center where kids ages ~5-14 learn to code in a fun, non-intimidating way — by building games, working hands-on with STEM, robotics, and digital tools. We believe in hands-on, incremental learning, helping students build confidence, logic, computational thinking, and creativity while having fun.

Role Summary

The Code Sensei is the primary instructor / coaching guide for students in our dojo. You’ll help kids move through our coding & STEM curriculum (belt system), facilitate their learning, overcome obstacles, and support their growth. You’ll also help maintain a safe, clean, and fun learning environment, and interact with parents about student progress.

Key Responsibilities

• Learn, understand, and follow Code Ninjas’ curriculum & belt system.
• Guide students (often called “ninjas”) through their game-building, coding, robotics or STEM projects. Help them when they get stuck, encourage debugging, and promote problem-solving skills.
• Create a positive, safe, fun, and inclusive environment for all students.
• Monitor student progress; update progress trackers / belt levels. Provide feedback to students and communicate with parents as appropriate.
• Help with class preparation and cleanup (setting up materials, computers, robotics kits, etc.), maintain equipment and keep the learning space (“dojo”) clean and organized.
• Perform opening and / or closing duties as required.
• Attend training to become proficient with the curriculum standards and helpful tools / technologies.
