About Mission Bit

Mission Bit is a San Francisco-based nonprofit that inspires youth of color to explore the world of STEM with project-based computer science education that embraces their identities. We offer a variety of hands-on STEM education programs, including biweekly, semester-long introductory coding courses.

We’re proud to provide training to all instructional staff to prepare them to teach, along with ongoing support throughout the semester!

If you have a passion for community, social justice, and coding, and if you want to uplift Bay Area youth and bridge the tech divide, then this might be the opportunity for you! Bilingual candidates are strongly encouraged to apply (especially those who speak Spanish).

This is a seasonal, semester-based, in-person role based in San Francisco, CA, from January 22 to May 12, 2026, with 6.5+ / - hours per week.
