Nature of Position

programs to a variety of audiences at the Space Centre and offsite.
Major Duties and Responsibilities

with initiative, work independently and as part of a team to develop and
deliver selected astronomy, space science and sustainability education
programs and activities.  Audiences include; adults, children, families,
ESL, school and community groups, and the general public.  This incumbent
will assist senior staff in developing and presenting more complex
interpretive programs, activities, and special events of a similar nature.
Work includes researching topics related to set themes for integration into
presentations; selecting and developing activities; setting up and using
technology and equipment required to present routine interpretive programs;
and maintaining programming materials.  This position may also design and
create educational materials such as props, simple multimedia and hand-outs
in support of programs, and prepare displays for special events.  Liaising
with teachers and other group leaders to ensure assigned programs meet
learning objectives is required.  After an initial period of training the
incumbent will exercise considerable independence of judgment and action
within program guidelines, referring unusual or difficult problems to a
