Curriculum Developer

As the Curriculum Architect & L&D Expert, your role will involve leading the design, development, and implementation of experiential, project-based learning curricula focusing on Makerspace innovation, Woodworking, Mechatronics, and Robotics. You will need to have a deep understanding of spiral curriculum principles, technical pedagogy, and hands-on learning methodologies to ensure skill progression from foundational to advanced levels. Key Responsibilities: - Develop spiral, scaffolded learning pathways for woodworking, robotics, mechatronics, electronics, and digital fabrication. - Create competency maps and learning progressions to build conceptual understanding and technical mastery across multiple levels. - Integrate STEM principles, design thinking, and problem-solving into each learning module. - Design project-based learning (PBL) modules, capstone projects, and maker challenges aligned with real-world applications. - Ensure curriculum alignment with industry standards, safety protocols, and 21st-century skill frameworks. Learning Experience Design: - Combine hands-on workshops, digital learning content, and collaborative projects to create an engaging hybrid learning experience. - Develop detailed lesson plans, facilitator guides, assessment rubrics, and student workbooks. - Integrate Maker tools and technologies like 3D printers, CNC machines, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, and pneumatics. - Embed iterative learning and reflection practices throughout the learning journey. L&D Strategy & Implementation: - Build and manage the training-of-trainers (ToT) program for educators, mentors, and technical facilitators. - Conduct learning needs analysis to identify gaps in technical and maker education delivery. - Implement frameworks for competency assessment, skill certification, and learner portfolio development. - Collaborate with industry experts, universities, and innovation hubs for content validation and project partnerships. Innovation & Continuous Improvement: - Integrate emerging technologies like AI, IoT, automation, and robotics simulation tools into the learning ecosystem. - Apply data-driven evaluation and learner analytics to enhance learning outcomes. - Experiment with new formats such as hackathons, maker fairs, and design sprints to enrich experiential learning. Qualifications & Experience: - Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Robotics), Industrial Design, Education Technology, or related fields. Certification or formal training in Instructional Design, Curriculum Development, or STEM Education is preferred. - Experience: 7-12 years of experience in curriculum design, technical training, or STEM/Makerspace education. Proven track record in designing spiral and project-based learning programs. Hands-on experience with mechatronics systems, robotics kits, CNC operations, and woodworking tools. Experience in establishing or managing Makerspaces, FabLabs, or Innovation Labs is a plus. Key Skills & Competencies: - Strong understanding of spiral curriculum theory and constructivist learning models. - Expertise in instructional design methodologies like ADDIE, backward design, competency-based learning. - Technical proficiency in robotics, automation, digital fabrication, and mechanical systems. - Excellent written and visual communication skills for content creation and documentation. - Strong project management, stakeholder collaboration, and facilitation abilities. - Creative mindset with a passion for hands-on learning, tinkering, and experimentation.
