Description
You know that moment when the activity you’ve meticulously planned hits that sweet spot with teens? The one where their eyes light up, you can see them drop their desire to be “cool,” and lean wholeheartedly into having fun? We bet you thought there was no way you could have that experience every day at work. Here at gt.school, you can!
gt.school is an EdTech startup transforming the industry with a state-of-the-art educational platform and research-backed learning methods. Our educational apps provide all the academic content students need, but we want to connect them to their peers in ways that are more engaging than Minecraft or TikTok.
This is where you come in—creating fun learning activities that engage and motivate students. You will directly impact the lives of middle school students and be part of revolutionizing education.

- Compiling successful activities in a detailed playbook, so anyone can implement them in an engaging manner

- Providing coaching and training to a team of “Edutainers” (educators + entertainers)
What you will NOT be doing
- Writing an educational curriculum
- Teaching academic content

Key Responsibilities
- Engage and motivate students to use educational content by creating fun activities
- Coaching a world-class team of instructors to implement these activities
Candidate Requirements
