STEAM Lab is a program within Pratt's Center K-12, that provides free in-school, after-school, and weekend classes to over 260 middle school and high school students annually. Leveraging Pratt’s faculty experts, facilities, resources and network of collaborators, it offers rigorous science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) programming, augmented by academic tutoring, SAT prep and college counseling. Classes are run on-site at partner schools, at Pratt’s state-of-the-art maker space at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and on Pratt’s main campus. STEAM Lab is looking for Teaching Assistants for our Future of Fashion course for high schoolers. In this course, students will learn cutting-edge sustainable fashion skills like 3D-printed textiles, laser-etched denim, and biomaterial jewelry, as well as traditional sewing and patternmaking. Then, students will design their own piece and bring it to life, using the new techniques they’ve learned!
The position is at the Pratt Institute Research Yard on Tuesdays 3:30-6:30pm, from February 24 through May 26. Teaching Assitants will help with teaching students, as well as prep work, attendance, and cleanup. |
