Teacher

Villanova University, in collaboration with the North Penn School District, is launching an Afterschool Artificial Intelligence (AI) Club at local elementary schools as part of an NSF-supported outreach initiative. The program will bring together K–12 teachers, engineering students, and AI professionals to mentor elementary students (grades 1–6) as they explore how AI can be used to solve real-world challenges.

The club will run January 2026 – June 2026, meeting two to three afternoons per week after school in Lansdale, PA.

We are seeking K–12 teachers to serve as mentors and facilitators for the Afterschool AI Club. Teacher mentors will work alongside Villanova faculty and AI experts to plan and co-lead engaging, age-appropriate learning activities. They will play a critical role in supporting student teams as they develop creative AI-enabled projects for submission to the Presidential AI Challenge.

This position offers teachers an opportunity to gain exposure to AI education, collaborate with university and industry mentors, and help shape an innovative STEM learning experience that integrates technology, creativity, and ethics.

This is a part-time, hourly position (approximately 5–10 hours per week, January 2026 – June 2026). Looking to hire up to 2 individuals.
