Role
- You will code various projects in P5JS which will be converted into teacher outlines that can be used in a Strive class to teach various math and coding topics.
- For example, one coding project is to teach students how to create a bouncing ball with the intention of teaching vectors. Here is the example teacher outline (80% of your job will be to make outlines like this)
- You will basically get paid to hack cool math modules together on JavaScript using an awesome library called p5.js. No prior p5.js experience is required, but you must be a fast learner!
- With a global team, we are looking for strong team players with good communication skills.
- Here is a list of other example projects our content creators have created:
- Coding a rocket to teach the coordinate system
- Coding the game pong to teach speed and velocity
- Drawing spirals to teach degrees and rotation
- Coding a clock to teach rates and fractions
- Coding a fraction calculator to teach improper fractions
- Coding a triangle classifier to teach the 6 types of triangles
- ... this list goes on and will grow with your help!
About Strive
Strive exists to make math education more meaningful and applicable to the real world. To equip students with the tools they need to lead meaningful and happy lives.
Strive Math teaches middle and high school math through code via live online 1-1 classes. We make math more fun and connected to the real world by having students code games, art and visualisations using code. Our mission is to make math fun and equip students with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Strive is founded by Pulkit Agarwal Stanford GSB Allum and & ExPalantir and Tamir Shklaz, 3x startup founder & South African Entrepreneur of the Year (2019). We started seven months ago and, as of today, teach 60+ hours of classes a week to 30+ weekly active students. We're backed by YCombinator and Entrepreneur First.
