Australian Academy of Robotics And STEM (AARAS) Education is a leading provider of Coding, Robotics, and STEM Education nationally. AARAS Education was established more than 6 years ago with the mission to make STEM education accessible to local students. Over this time, we have inspired thousands of students from around Australia through our after-school, school holiday, and incursion programs. We are one of the first organisations to offer global STEM programs to the masses such as Google CS First Coding Club, First® LEGO® League programs and more recently TED-Ed programs. We work with Public, Private, and Independent schools as well as libraries to provide our after-school programs, incursions, and professional development workshops. Our students regularly participate in local and international coding/robotics/STEM events and competitions.
As a leading provider of STEM education, we practice what we preach. Our vision is to provide personalised education on a scale and we achieve that by using technology. We have developed a number of innovative programs, services, and systems to achieve this vision and we are just getting started.
We are looking for an Operations Manager to lead us to the next phase of our growth.
