Teach children to make things with their hands — in clay, wood and paint.
Young Engineers' Academy (YEA!) is adding creative arts studios to its learning centres. We are looking for Creative Arts Mentors — practising artists and makers who love teaching children, and who can turn a lump of clay, a plank of wood or a blank sheet into a project a child is proud to take home.
About YEA!
YEA! is a growing network of hands-on learning centres where children aged 6 and above learn robotics, AI, coding, electronics, 3D printing and making — by building. YEA! is a brand of Robokidz Eduventures Limited, a Pune-based K-12 STEM, Robotics and AI education company listed on the BSE SME platform, and is operated by its subsidiary Robokidz Retails Pvt. Ltd.

- Teaching — run studio sessions for small batches of children aged 6+ in clay modelling and pottery, woodworking, painting and mixed media, each built around a project a child can finish and take home
- Programme — build the YEA! creative arts curriculum with our Training team: term-wise projects, lesson plans, sample pieces, and STEAM projects that link art with robotics
- Studio & safety — set up and run the studio: tools, materials, wheel and kiln, drying and firing schedules, and strict child safety
- Workshops & showcases — weekend workshops, holiday camps, school and community sessions, and a student exhibition every term
- Parents & team — regular progress updates to parents, student records, and joint projects with our robotics and AI mentors

- 1–5 years of teaching art, craft or making to children — in a school, art academy, hobby studio, camp or workshop series. Final-year students who have run children's workshops are also welcome
- Patience, warmth and the ability to manage a lively batch of 10–15 children safely
- Good English and Hindi; Marathi is a plus
- Pune-based or willing to relocate; comfortable working weekends, with a weekly off on a weekday

What We Offer
