Stem Trainer- Astrophysics

Role & responsibilities:

Classroom Teaching

• Conduct engaging Space & Astronomy sessions using activity-based and project-based learning methodologies.
• Teach concepts through practical demonstrations, experiments, models, and engineering challenges.
• Create an interactive classroom environment that promotes curiosity, scientific thinking, and exploration.

Lesson Planning & Preparation

• Prepare lesson plans, activity guides, and project resources based on the curriculum.
• Organize astronomy kits, telescopes, electronic components, sensors, and learning materials before every session.
• Adapt lesson delivery to suit different age groups and learning abilities.

Student Mentoring & Assessment

• Observe, mentor, and evaluate students throughout the learning journey.
• Provide technical guidance during project development and experimentation.
• Assess students on conceptual understanding, practical skills, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.
• Maintain student progress records and project documentation.

Space & Astronomy Project Development

• Guide students in designing, building, testing, and improving space science and astronomy projects.
• Teach concepts including the Solar System, planets, stars, galaxies, constellations, the Moon, space exploration,

satellites, rockets, orbital mechanics, gravity, telescopes, and observational astronomy.
