- Experience using LEGO, bricks or robotics kits

- Passion for engineering, technology, or STEM learning through play

- Patient, enthusiastic, and confident leading a group

- Must be available 2 days in a week, throughout August

- Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one before start date) - - Safeguarding awareness and commitment to child safety

Desirable (but not essential)

- Experience running workshops, clubs, or creative tech sessions

- Background in maker spaces, robotics clubs, or engineering-themed camps

- Basic understanding of coding or programmable kits (Scratch, Spike Prime, etc.)
