Slooh Curriculum Developer Job Description

Job Title: Curriculum Developer

Location: Remote

Job Type: Full-Time Summer Contract, potential to hire

Compensation:  $25 per hour

What Is Slooh?

Slooh is a revolutionary platform enabling all students to explore Earth and space like professional scientists using online telescopes and satellites. Using computer, tablet, or module devices, Slooh provides access to a global network of online telescopes and satellites and an integrated Earth and space science curriculum for kindergarten to college. 

The curriculum on Slooh is made up of standards-aligned learning activities called Quests. These multi-part and interactive lessons are suitable for in-class group work, weekly homework assignments, independent research, and more! Our mission is to make access to this kind of hands-on, experiential learning more equitable for students worldwide and to inspire the next generation to pursue the growing space industry. 

Values

Slooh binds people together through communal exploration of the universe. We believe that space is the ideal context to acknowledge our common journey on this planet and strengthen global fellowship and citizenship.

Community

Slooh is not just for future rocket scientists. We nurture learning in all its variety and celebrate the imagination. We understand each student is on a personal path of discovery.

Personal Exploration

We believe in the authenticity of real investigation, prioritizing “live” experiences over simulations and animations, so that children can study the seasonal and ephemeral ebb and flow of the universe. Once children see the majesty of space for themselves, the mind’s eye is forever lit.

Authentic Investigation

We empower people to teach each other about space while maintaining high standards of social etiquette and privacy. Every new participant improves the value of the service.

Cooperative Learning

We are not afraid of the dark. We believe in the power of being outside at night, far away from human light. Find a dark sky near you.

Darkness Is Divine

The universe is closer than you think. See it live; see it together.
