Transform Young Minds into Extraordinary Leaders - Join Alpha Schools in Austin, TX

Imagine a world where 8-year-olds confidently pitch business ideas to venture capitalists, and 10-year-olds deliver TED-style talks that leave adults in awe. At Alpha Schools, we're not just imagining it - we're making it happen. And we need your creative genius to take it to the next level.

In this role, you'll harness cutting-edge AI to craft mind-blowing workshops, pilot your creations with real students, and collaborate with a team of education revolutionaries. You'll blend elements of curriculum development and instructional design, focusing on practical life skills rather than academic subjects.

• Creating superficial "edutainment" that prioritizes fun over measurable skill development
• Implementing conventional age-restricted learning approaches that limit student potential
• Developing theoretical content disconnected from real-world applications
• Producing passive learning experiences or lecture-based materials
• Focusing on traditional academic metrics instead of practical skill mastery

Key Responsibilities
