Technology Teacher Coding, Robotics, Web Dev. and AI

Something Big Is Happening in Erbil. Be Part of It.

Over the past two years something remarkable has been taking place in a small office in Baxtyari. Children as young as five are building robots. Teenagers are creating AI tools that detect diseases and read emotions. Kids who once thought technology was something that happened to them are now the ones making it happen.

Thats The Code Lab. And were just getting started.

Were Looking for Two Passionate Educators to Join Our Team

This isnt a tutoring job. It isnt a side gig. Its an opportunity to be part of a growing movement that is genuinely changing how the next generation of Kurdistan thinks about technology creativity and their own potential.

At The Code Lab our teachers dont just deliver lessons they spark moments. Theyre the reason a 9-year-old goes home and cant stop talking about what they built today. Theyre the reason parents message us saying their child has finally found something they love. Theyre the reason this city is quietly producing some of the most impressive young tech talent in the region.

Who Were Looking For

You dont have to be the most technically advanced person in the room. But you do have to care deeply about young people and about the future youre helping them build.

Youre the right person if:

• You light up when a student finally understands something difficult
• You believe technology should empower people not intimidate them
• Youre curious adaptable and always learning yourself
• You want your work to mean something beyond a monthly salary
• Youre excited by the idea of being part of something that is growing fast and going somewhere

Experience in coding robotics AI or STEM education is a strong advantage. But passion and the right mindset will always matter more to us than a perfect CV.

What Youll Be Part Of

• A team that genuinely cares about its mission and each other
• A learning environment that is hands-on creative and never boring
• Programs that have been recognized by government officials international organizations and hundreds of families across Erbil
• A community of students who will remember you because great teachers always leave a mark
• An organization that is expanding evolving and building something that will outlast all of us
