School Drone Programs Instructor

About the role

CoFuture delivers hands‑on STEM incursions that get students flying drones and writing real code. We’re looking for a School Drone Programs Instructor to help run our Drone Rescue Academy — an energetic, hands‑on program where students learn manual flight and Python‑based autonomous control.

This is a casual role that’s a great fit if you want flexible, rewarding work that fits around your studies/work.

What you’ll do

• Deliver engaging drone workshops to high school students
• Teach manual drone piloting — pitch, roll, throttle, yaw — through obstacle courses and relays
• Guide students through autonomous flight using Python, helping teams write and debug scripts to navigate 3D coordinate grids
• Run safety briefings and enforce protocols, including emergency “kill switch” procedures
• Manage hardware setup, device pairing, and troubleshoot real‑time coding and connection issues
• Bring high energy and keep students engaged across team‑based activities

What we’re looking for

• Final‑year university students in robotics, mechatronics, or a closely related engineering discipline
• Hands‑on experience tinkering with drones (highly regarded)
• Solid working knowledge of Python
• Confidence presenting to and managing groups of teenagers
• Reliable, personable, and comfortable thinking on your feet when tech doesn’t cooperate
• A current Working With Children Check (or willingness to obtain one)

Nice to have

• Prior experience tutoring, mentoring, or working with school‑age students

Why CoFuture

• Flexible casual work that fits around your degree
• Get paid to share your passion for robotics and coding
• Build teaching, leadership, and communication skills that complement your technical background
• Inspire the next generation of engineers
