About Yardstick & BeeCurious
Yardstick Educational Initiatives is the organisation behind BeeCurious a Science and Math education
initiative dedicated to making learning engaging, experiential, and future-ready for school students. Through
hands-on learning programs, project-based learning experiences, and innovative educational solutions,
BeeCurious helps students develop critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and innovation skills.
We partner with schools to deliver high-quality Science and Math learning experiences that complement
classroom education and prepare students for tomorrow's challenges. Our stakeholders include school
leaders, principals, educators, students, and parents who share our vision of transforming learning through
curiosity-driven education.
About the Role
We are looking for a candidate to join the BeeCurious product team. This is a hands-on, creative role at the
heart of what we do designing science and mathematics activities that students build, test, and learn from
inside the classroom.
You will own both sides of the work: the activity itself and the curriculum around it. That means you will
conceptualise new hands-on activities, source and experiment with materials, prototype and iterate until the
activity works awlessly, and then write the student worksheet and teacher guide that make the learning
stick. These are not separate jobs done by separate people you will do both, and the quality of one will
always inform the other.
Freshers are welcome. If you have the right background and the right mindset, we will teach you the rest. This
role is for someone who genuinely loves science, nds joy in making things work, and believes that the best
way to understand how the world works is to build something and see what happens.
Key Responsibilities
Activity Conceptualisation & Design




Conceptualise new hands-on science and mathematics activities think creatively about what
phenomena can be explored with simple, accessible materials.
Coordinate with the supply and production teams to source materials for prototyping; identify new
materials and creative solutions when standard options do not meet the requirements.
Work with the in-house design expert to ensure that the nal activity is visually appealing, easy to
assemble, and aesthetically engaging for students.
Ensure the kit design is clean and intuitive all components t together without friction, assembly
and disassembly are smooth, and there are no loose ends.

Prototyping & Iterative Testing


Build and test prototypes hands-on repeatedly, rigorously, and with a critical eye.
Test every aspect of the activity: the working of the science, the assembly process, the durability of
materials, and the experience of a student encountering it for the rst time.
Iterate through multiple cycles of design, testing, and renement. Getting it right the rst time is not
the expectation getting it right is.


Document ndings from each iteration and use them to drive the next improvement.
Curriculum Writing Student Worksheet

Write the student worksheet for each activity, structured to guide students through the experience
and maximise the learning value.

Each worksheet should include: a compelling introduction to the activity, a clear materials list, a
step-by-step procedure, scaolded spaces to capture observations and inferences, and inquiry-based
questions that push students to think about what they saw and why.
Frame questions using the ClaimEvidenceReasoning approach so students develop the habit of
grounding their conclusions in what they observed.


Ensure the worksheet language is age-appropriate, clear, and engaging written for the student, not
the teacher.
Curriculum Writing Teacher Guide


Write the accompanying teacher guide for each activity, providing complete facilitation support.
Include step-by-step instructions for running the activity in a classroom, safety guidance, answers to
all student worksheet questions, and pedagogical context explaining the science behind the activity.
Curriculum & Standards Alignment

Map each activity to the relevant curriculum frameworks NCERT, ICSE, and the Next Generation
Science Standards (NGSS) and ensure the learning outcomes are clearly addressed.
Ensure every activity is educationally purposeful: the hands-on experience should connect directly to a
concept students are learning in their curriculum.

Ownership & Coordination


Take full ownership of each activity from initial concept to nal, production-ready deliverable.
Coordinate proactively with the supply chain team to ensure materials are available when needed;
follow up consistently and resolve sourcing challenges without waiting to be asked.
Keep the Product Head informed of progress, blockers, and iterations at every stage.

Who You Are

Passionate about science genuinely, not on paper You are the kind of person who looks at a
spinning top and wonders why it doesn't fall over, or takes apart a broken device just to see how it
works. Science is not something you studied; it is something you are curious about. That curiosity is
what will make you good at this job.

Creative and inventive You can look at a handful of EVA foam, a DC motor, a straw, and some wire
and imagine three dierent things a student could build with them. You enjoy the puzzle of turning a
scientic concept into a physical experience, and you are willing to try unconventional approaches to
get there.

A problem-solver who works through failure Prototyping is an inherently frustrating process. Things
do not work, materials behave unexpectedly, and designs that looked good on paper fall apart in
practice. You do not give up when this happens you diagnose, adapt, and try again.
A believer in hands-on learning You understand or are deeply curious about why learning by
doing is dierent from learning by reading. You care about the student's experience: what they
observe, what they wonder, what they take away. That care shows up in the quality of your
worksheets and the attention you bring to testing.


An owner You take pride in completing your work. Once an activity is yours, you see it through the
design, the testing, the writing, all of it until it is done well. You do not consider a task nished until
it meets the standard.
A collaborator who communicates proactively You work closely with designers, the supply team, and
the Product Head. You keep people in the loop, ag problems early, and ask for help when you need it
rather than going quiet and hoping things resolve themselves.
Essential Requirements
The following are mandatory qualications for this role. Applications that do not meet these criteria will not
be considered.


Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics or Engineering.
Mindset: A genuine passion for science and hands-on learning evident through coursework,
personal projects, or any other avenue. This is as important as the degree.
Freshers are welcome to apply no prior work experience is required.

Preferred

Any exposure to designing or facilitating science activities, experiments, or demonstrations in a
classroom, club, lab, internship, or personal project setting.



Familiarity with curriculum frameworks such as NCERT, ICSE, or NGSS.
Any experience writing curriculum, instructional content, or study material.
Basic comfort with productivity tools spreadsheets, documents, and project tracking.
The Opportunity
Most science graduates spend their careers explaining science that already exists. At BeeCurious, you will
spend your time creating the experience through which students encounter it for the rst time.
Every activity you design will be used by real students in real classrooms across India. When a student
assembles a motor, watches a coil spin for the rst time, and asks "why does it keep going?" the answer to
that question, and the experience that prompted it, will be something you built.
This is creative, purposeful work for someone who loves science and wants to put that love to use in a way
that matters. If that is you, we would like to meet you.
Yardstick Educational Initiatives is an equal opportunity employer.
