Employment Opportunities
2023 employment information
USM/Maine Robotics takes our staffing seriously. We aim to offer programs with highly qualified staff who will serve as mentors for the youth in our programs. Because it is sometimes difficult to find people who are simultaneously good with children, experienced teaching, and have a background in engineering and computer science, we often will do our best to match up team members that provide all of these skills as a team. Maine Robotics has been offering summer camps focused on Technology, Science, and Robotics since 2000. We use the popular LEGO® MindStorms robotic kits to teach engineering and programming. Over 6000 children have attended these camps over the last 20 years and we anticipate over 550 campers for the 2022 summer. Maine Robotics is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on gender, race, age, religion, or sexual orientation. All employment at Maine Robotics summer program is at-will employment.
