About the company
What's it like to work at Saturday Kids?
Our team is a motley crew of individuals who dance, lift, hustle, parent, DJ, teach, bake, and more. We bring our best selves to to work, but also celebrate our interests beyond it. Our team is 80% female and 80% under-35. We believe diversity makes us stronger, and welcome people across identities and orientations all the same.
Our often remote workplace is…
1. Flexible
No official working hours, no place to report to (most of the time). If you’re the kind of person who needs external structure and 100% certainty, this might not be the place for you.
2. Autonomous
There’s no micro-managing here (we don’t have time for that). We strive to be accountable for our own work while knowing when to reach out for help or support from teammates.
3. Inclusive
Even while we’re a busy bunch, we aim for kindness towards each other, the kids we work with, and other stakeholders we interact with, always.
We are a team of multipotentialites, educators, change-makers, techies, and creatives who love kids and can’t wait to change the world.
What if kids are intrinsically motivated to learn?
At Saturday Kids, students don't just learn to code. They code to learn. We cannot teach kids everything there is to know. But what we can do is bring out the curiosity in kids, encourage them to look at problems and think "I can figure this out myself". Saturday Kids learn how to learn
Since 2012, we have taught over 5,000 students how to learn through classes in programming, electronics, digital art and design thinking. Our mission is to use digital literacy classes to transform kids into self-motivated learners who are curious, inventive & resourceful.
