  • inspire teachers and students with a passion for creating with technology in the classroom
  • work with a wide range of technologies, comfortable with everything from a camera to a terminal console to a soldering iron
  • help teachers integrate technology into their classes, teaching necessary skills, and also helping facilitate/co-teach classes in other disciplines
  • be a resource for students as they complete independent or group work
  • proactively seek out opportunities to make our technology facilities a hub of interdisciplinary learning
  • find avenues to showcase student work both in school and outside of it
  • develop and lead upper school elective courses and clubs

  • have both a good sense of humor and patience when working with others
