Code and Cupcakes Workshop Instructor

Code and Cupcakes is a workshop series designed for mothers and daughters to learn together about basic web development. Our founder has so far taught our workshops, and will continue to teach in the future, but we are looking for another instructor to lead future workshops so that we can offer more on a regular basis.

Skills needed:

HTML/CSS/JS
presenting content in front of a class or audience
mentoring students one-on-one to work through problems
working effectively with kids and adults who are beginning learners

Code and Cupcakes Chicago Assistant

Code and Cupcakes is a beginning coding workshop series for mothers and daughters in Chicago. The first event was on October 25, 2014 and as I expand into more workshops and different areas of the city, I would like to find a dedicated assistant to handle more operational details so that I can focus on curriculum materials and website development.

This will entail an average of a few hours a week plus the five hours of the events themselves (one Saturday a month at most). I will provide a small stipend (amount to be determined) to compensate for your time.

Some of the tasks an assistant would be engaged with:

Replying via email to general questions and comments
Arranging details with host venues for events
