Hi,
I am passing along information on three positions that will be part of an exciting new project based in Muscat, Oman. Some of the duties will begin in Fall 2019, but the bulk of the project will run from January 2020. Feel free to forward this information to anyone in your network who may be interested.
An international development company is assisting Oman leadership with a project to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. To commemorate, it seeks to expand STEM education opportunities. The 30-year old Children’s Museum in Muscat will be upgraded to include an expanded technology focus and is slated to re-open in fall 2020. This project seeks advisors for both the design and build out of new exhibit experiences as well as facilitation of STEM and coding programs.
