About the role

Responsive recruiter Ditch the Desk. Ignite Curiosity. Get Paid to Play. 🚀

Is your summer plan looking a little... bland? Skip the retail counters and spreadsheets. At Mad Science of DC, you’ll spend your break building rockets, taming lasers, and being the "cool scientist" kids will never forget.

  • Active & Social: Work outdoors and indoors with a high-energy team.
🧑‍🔬Note: Paid training and orientation happen in early June. We set you up for total success before the first kid even walks through the door.

What You’ll Do 🧪

You’ll lead a squad of campers (ages 6-12) through mind-blowing experiments and hands-on projects. One day you’re launching projectiles; the next, you’re creating chemical reactions. We provide full training - no science degree required!

Who We Need 🔎

  • Outgoing Personalities: You can lead a group and keep things exciting.
  • Mobile: You have a reliable vehicle and a valid license to reach sites across the DC Metro area (VA/MD/DC).
