Description
About St. Mark’s
Founded in 1906, St. Mark's School of Texas is a non-sectarian, college-preparatory, independent day school for boys in grades one through twelve. The School’s charter states that it is “designed to afford its students well-rounded physical, intellectual, moral, and religious training and instruction.” The School is intended to be a diverse community of teachers and students who share a love of learning and who strive for high achievement in whatever they undertake.
St. Mark’s aims to prepare young men to assume leadership and responsibility in a competitive and changing world. To this end, the School professes and upholds certain values. These values include the discipline of postponing immediate gratification in the interest of earning eventual, hard-won satisfaction; the responsibility of defending one’s own ideas, of respecting the views of others, and of accepting the consequences for one’s own actions; and an appreciation for the lively connection between knowledge and responsibility and the obligation to serve.
Position Description
St. Mark’s School of Texas seeks an enthusiastic and hardworking person to work as a part-time assistant in the School’s makerspace during the 2023-2024 school year. The Makerspace Assistant would support the Makerspace Director in the day-to-day operation of the makerspace, fabrication lab, and robotics rooms located in the state-of-the-art engineering wing of the Winn Science Center. The primary responsibilities will be to help maintain order and organization of the spaces, oversee student work to ensure effective tool use and safety, and work directly with students to support progress on their projects. Ideal candidates will have experiences and/or coursework in engineering that provides familiarity with the engineering process and the tools and technology involved, from computer-aided design, coding, and microprocessors to laser cutters, 3D printers, and automated milling machines.
St. Mark’s students are eager and motivated learners, and they engage in a variety of creative engineering projects in the makerspace, whether for class assignments, robotics teams, design competitions, or independent projects. Each day in the makerspace brings new activities and challenges, so a strong candidate will be flexible in adapting to the needs of the day while making productive use of the time to support students on project work while maintaining organized, safe, and efficient workspaces.
Responsibilities
• Assist the Makerspace Director for 20 hours a week, mostly in the afternoon and after-school hours. Detailed schedule to be determined.
• Help maintain order and organization in the makerspace, fabrication lab, and robotics rooms.
• Support students during school hours as they work on projects in classes taught by the Makerspace Director. Depending on the skills of the assistant, this could mean ensuring safe tool use, helping troubleshoot flaws in code, demonstrating how to use equipment and software, or preparing materials for class.
• Oversee the makerspace during after-school hours as students work on class projects, robotics competitions, and design challenges. Ensure safe and proper use of tools and other equipment.
• Support the Makerspace Director in other capacities, as needed.
Experience, Qualifications & Skills
• Some STEM coursework is preferred. A bachelor’s degree in engineering or computer science is not required but would be a plus. Relevant professional experience will also be considered.
• Experience working with the tools and technology found in the makerspace, which includes laser cutters, CNC routers, mills and lathes, 3D printers, and a variety of power and hand tools.
• Ability to support and oversee students working on engineering projects that involve:
