🧑‍🏫 Overview

RoboticGen Academy is looking for a Mentor to guide students aged 10–18 in robotics and artificial intelligence. This part-time role combines virtual and in-person mentoring, teaching, and research.

Picture a student moving from following instructions to testing an idea of their own. As an L2 Mentor, you guide that shift through thoughtful feedback, hands-on sessions, and projects that make robotics and AI feel possible.

🤝 Commitment and availability

Weekly commitment is 10–20 hours, generally split between mentoring and research. At least 10 mentoring sessions per week are required. Sessions are scheduled within these operating hours based on mentor availability and academy needs:

• Virtual mentoring: Mainly weekday evenings, especially 7 PM–10 PM.
• Physical mentoring: Mainly Saturdays, 9 AM–6 PM, at the RoboticGen Academy Makerspace in Dehiwala.
• Meetings: Be available for pre-scheduled meetings, such as the weekly mentors' standup.

🧧 What you will do

• Guide students through virtual and physical mentoring sessions and submit a report after each session.
• Grade assignments and give constructive feedback. Prepare mentor guides, solution scripts, mock answer scripts, and suggestions for new content.
• Encourage students to explore beyond the curriculum and learn independently.
• Lead online classes, physical workshops, and team challenges.
• Continue developing your skills through academy courses, projects, and guidance.
• Take on other reasonable tasks that support students' learning.

✅ Requirements

• Be a post-A/L student selected for university entrance in the science stream, or a first- or second-year undergraduate pursuing an Engineering or IT degree. Electronics and Telecommunications, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechatronics are preferred fields.
• Have completed, or possess the skills and experience required for, Mentor L1.
• Communicate effectively in English and Sinhala, and be able to engage and teach children and teenagers.
• Show interest in learning robotics and AI, and enthusiasm for STEM education.
