The Coding Space Hiring for Computer Science Teacher Job at Bronx, NY Full Time

Company Description
The Coding Space is the leading after-school and summer program for coding education, for young learners in New York City. Through our program, students learn to tackle challenges independently, through learning to code. We accomplish this by providing a space for students to build their own coding projects while developing intellectual confidence, a growth mindset, and computational thinking skills.

We believe in teaching differently. We never lecture, rather we engage and ignite curiosity in our students. Our classes are all project-based and we teach computer science using the Socratic Method. We believe in empowering our students to not only learn computer science, but truly develop critical thinking skills in all aspects of their lives.
