Robotics Volunteer - Chula Vista

The LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers is looking for Robotics Volunteers to help inspire and mentor students through hands-on robotics and programming experiences accross South San Diego County. This role is looking for someone in East/West Chula Vista or South Bay area.

As a Robotics Volunteer, you’ll have the option to either work with students ranging from beginners to advanced competitors, teaching everything from low-level robotics with Micro:bits, or block-based coding to advanced FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics. Whether you’re leading a class, assisting an instructor, or helping students debug their robot at just the right moment, your impact will be immediate and meaningful.

Opportunities as a Volunteer:

• Teach and support students using Micro:bits, block coding platforms, and introductory robotics concepts
• Help guide students into more advanced robotics, including FTC robot design, programming, and strategy
• Assist with or lead in-person classes at various LEAGUE locations throughout San Diego
• Support students during builds, testing, and troubleshooting sessions
• Help teach and refine our existing robotics curriculum
• Contribute to the development of new lessons, challenges, and projects
• Collaborate with other volunteers and instructors to create a positive, inclusive learning environment

Who We’re Looking For:

• Volunteers with experience or interest in robotics, programming, engineering, or STEM education
• Familiarity with Micro:bits, block coding, Java, or FTC robotics is a plus (but not required—we’ll help you learn!)
• Comfortable working with students (typically ages 8–18)
• Patient, encouraging, and excited to help students grow
• Available to volunteer in different areas of San Diego, depending on class needs

Why Volunteer with The LEAGUE?

• Make a real difference by helping students build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a love for STEM
• Gain teaching, mentoring, and leadership experience
