Education Aide
About The Position

Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. Our education community consists of Ad Astra (school for K-12 students), Kenmont (school for infant - Primary aged students), and several extracurriculars, bus routes, and camps.
