What are some unconventional ways to start teaching?

[Jaymes Dec]

I'm hosting a panel at the NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) Grad Launch: http://itp.nyu.edu/launch/ about the landscape of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math K-12 education: how it is shifting towards a more making-centric, or constructionist method, why that's a good thing, and how ITP grads are uniquely suited to help.

I want to show that there are many ways that people can start teaching (you don't have to join a union!).

So my question to everyone on this list who's ever taught a class:

How did you fall into it?
or
What are some ways that ITP grads can dabble in teaching without having to get a teaching license?

Thank you for any help!
