Job Description
About us
We're a small creative team that delivers STEM workshops to students and communities across New Zealand.
We began in Auckland in 2017 teaching after-school coding classes, and have since grown to offer robotics, electronics, 3D design and printing, science, Minecraft, and more!
Our classes now run during school hours, after school, in school holidays, through community pop-up events. Our mission is to make STEM accessible and exciting for all - building curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
This role
As our STEM Program & Resource Coordinator, you’ll keep our programmes running smoothly from behind the scenes — and step in to bring the fun to life a few times per week.
This role blends hands-on coordination with creative problem-solving. You’ll make sure our team, students, and community partners have everything they need to deliver inspiring STEM workshops across New Zealand.
From rostering tutors and maintaining our STEM kits, to planning new activities, managing equipment budgets, and ensuring gear is where it needs to be - you’ll be the steady hand that keeps Brain Play running like clockwork.
You’ll also support the teaching team by helping deliver sessions, designing and testing new STEM projects, and ensuring our materials and resources are safe, functional, and ready for use.
It’s a varied, practical, and purposeful role - perfect for someone who enjoys both planning and doing, loves tech and tinkering, and thrives in a supportive, creative team.

Some hands-on STEM knowledge (coding, robotics, 3D printing, electronics, or science)
Confidence using spreadsheets and digital tools to track inventory and schedules
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Positivity, adaptability, and initiative - a solutions focused approach to challenges

Location
We deliver workshops and events across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. This role is based in Auckland, but will involve travel a few times per year to Wellington, Christchurch, and new hubs we expand to.
