Hello, Haskellers. I'm happy to announce a summer contracting opportunity helping to create documentation and educational materials for the CodeWorld project. CodeWorld (https://code.world) is a platform (and soon, a curriculum) for teaching mathematics via Haskell programming to children at the U.S. middle school level (ages 11-14). For more information about the CodeWorld project and its motivations, I can refer you to my recent BayHac presentation at https://youtu.be/7CGuI9HcfqQ Start: Early June End: Mid-August (but flexible) Full-time commitment Anticipated compensation: US$1500 / week Working remotely is expected, with the possibility of one week of required travel. As part of this position, you will work closely as a team with two other full-time writers to create detailed educational materials for use with the CodeWorld platform. You will be the team's expert on computer programming and the Haskell programming language. Other team members have expertise in mathematics education, and general and special needs education. The team's over-arching goal will be to produce objectives, instructional video scripts, visual aids, reference documentation (online and offline), pencil-and-paper activities, classroom activity planning, assessments, and any other resources necessary to support the success of this curriculum as a year-long class in schools. You should expect a typical day to include writing, editing and reviewing the content of others, planning objectives and content sequence, brainstorming activities and resources to help with content units, and some debate and consensus-building with the team on important design decisions. All artifacts produced during the job will be released under open source and/or Creative Commons licenses, suitable for use without charge by schools and organizations around the world. Qualifications: - Strong knowledge of Haskell programming language fundamentals. - Excellent writing and communication skills (in English), and in particular, an ability to explain technical ideas to an audience of beginners in a compelling way. - A mathematics and/or education background would be beneficial, but is not required. For this position, you will be a contractor for the New York Haskell User Group. Resumes can be sent to cdsmith@gmail.com.
