About PromaBridge Institute

PromaBridge Institute is a technology driven STEM education hub dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real world industrial application. We equip young learners with practical, industry aligned skills in robotics, engineering, coding, automation, CNC machining, soldering, 3D printing, drone piloting, bioscience, chemical formulations, clean chemicals production, smart agriculture, clean energy systems, and advanced manufacturing technologies.

Our mission goes beyond traditional education—we're building a generation of problem solvers, innovators, and future ready leaders capable of addressing both local and global challenges. Through our programs, students from K12 (Kindergarten to Grade 12) gain hands on experience that can transform their ideas into real startups through our Venture Studio.

We're transforming STEM education across Zambia, one innovation at a time.

The Opportunity

We're calling on passionate final year STEM students and recent STEM/STEAM graduates to join our team as Volunteer STEM Educators & Trainers and make a real impact in shaping young innovators.

Role Overview:

You'll work directly with young learners (K12) to deliver hands on, industrial grade STEM training using cutting edge tools and technologies:

What You'll Be Teaching:

• IoT (Internet of Things) Projects – Guide students in building smart systems using sensors, microcontrollers, and connectivity modules
• 3D Design & Modeling – Teach computer aided design (CAD) software and help students bring their creative ideas to life
• 3D Printing – Train learners on 3D printer operation, slicing software, prototyping, and rapid manufacturing
• Robotics & Automation – Facilitate hands on robotics kits and automation projects
• Electronics & Soldering – Mentor students in circuit building and basic electronics assembly
• Coding & Programming – Introduce programming concepts through Scratch, Arduino, Python, C++, and block based coding
• Drone Technology – Support drone piloting training and applications
• CNC Machining – Assist with computer numerical control projects
• Bioscience & Biotechnology – Guide students in biological experiments, microbiology basics, and life sciences applications
• Chemical Formulations – Teach safe chemical mixing, formulation science, and product development (soaps, detergents, cleaning solutions, etc.)
• Clean Chemicals Production – Train learners in creating eco friendly, sustainable chemical products for household and industrial use
• Smart Agriculture & Clean Energy – Teach sustainable technology applications and agricultural innovations

What You'll Work With:

• IoT development kits (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, actuators)
• 3D printers and design software (Tinkercad, Fusion 360, etc.)
• Robotics kits and engineering tools
• Laboratory equipment for chemistry and bioscience experiments
• Chemical formulation materials and safety equipment
• Mobile STEM labs equipped with industry standard equipment
• Innovation prototyping materials

Who We're Looking For:

• Final year students or recent graduates in Engineering, Computer Science, ICT, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Environmental Science, or related STEM fields
• Passion for teaching, mentoring, and youth empowerment
• Basic knowledge of IoT, 3D design/printing, robotics, coding, chemistry, bioscience, or chemical formulations
• Patience and creativity in working with learners of various ages (K12)
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Understanding of laboratory safety and best practices (for chemistry/bioscience roles)
• Willingness to learn and grow in an educational environment
• Commitment to making a difference in Zambian STEM education

What You'll Gain:

• ✅ Transport allowance provided for all training sessions
• ✅ Hands on teaching experience with real students across K12 levels
• ✅ Practical experience with IoT kits, 3D printers, laboratory equipment, and advanced STEM tools
• ✅ Certificate of completion/internship upon successful program completion
• ✅ Portfolio building opportunity for future career development
• ✅ Professional reference and recommendation letter
• ✅ Potential pathway to paid employment as PromaBridge grows
• ✅ Mentorship from experienced STEM educators
• ✅ Be part of a transformative educational movement in Zambia
• ✅ Network with schools, educators, and industry professionals

Commitment:

• 2 training sessions per week (flexible scheduling)
• Minimum 3 month commitment preferred
• Training sessions typically held during school hours or weekends

Location:

• Partner schools across Lusaka
• PromaBridge STEM HUB
• Transport provided/covered

This is a Non Paid Volunteer/Internship Position

While this is an unpaid opportunity, we provide transport coverage and invaluable hands on experience that will strengthen your CV and open doors in education, technology, and innovation sectors.
