Pedagogy Assistant

1122 is a learning environment designed to develop builders who can turn ideas and unfamiliar problems into real solutions. Rather than focusing on traditional courses or predefined job preparation, learners at 1122 work through authentic challenges that require problem understanding, tool selection, solution building, testing, and defending decisions. AI is integrated as a supportive element, encouraging deep understanding instead of shortcuts. The journey begins with Sahara, an intensive selection experience, followed by a Common Core emphasizing computing fundamentals, systems thinking, programming, algorithms, software engineering, AI-assisted building, collaboration, and complex projects. Learners then specialize through real-world projects, peer learning, project defense, iteration, and independent research, grounded in the belief that each person is capable of building far more than they think.
Pedagogy Assistant
3-Month Volunteer Opportunity | 1122
1122 is looking for volunteers to join the team for three months as Pedagogy Assistants.
The role is focused on supporting the learning experience, helping students navigate projects and expectations, observing recurring learning difficulties, and working with the pedagogy team to improve the student journey.
What you will do
As a Pedagogy Assistant, you will:
Support students in understanding project objectives, rules, and learning expectations.
Help students navigate the 1122 learning methodology without directly giving them solutions.
Encourage students to research, experiment, collaborate, and solve problems independently.
Support students during the Sahara 21-day selection program.
Be present in the 1122 Virtual Campus and observe how students interact with projects and peers.
Identify recurring learning difficulties, confusing instructions, or unclear project requirements.
Relay pedagogical issues and student feedback to the appropriate team members.
Help monitor student engagement and participation.
Support peer-to-peer learning and peer evaluation practices.
Help maintain a healthy learning environment based on autonomy, curiosity, experimentation, and responsibility.
Participate in testing new projects, exercises, or learning activities before they are released.
Help review project instructions from a student perspective and report unclear points.
Assist with collecting structured feedback about the learning experience.
Support onboarding sessions, project introductions, and learning-related events when needed.
What this role is not
A Pedagogy Assistant is not expected to:
Complete projects for students.
Give students direct answers or ready-made solutions.
Make final decisions about student progression or selection.
Replace instructors or pedagogy owners.
Perform evaluations outside the defined 1122 evaluation process.
The objective is to guide the learning process, not remove the challenge.
Who we are looking for

Be able to explain ideas clearly without immediately giving the answer.
Be curious about how people learn and solve problems.
Have good observation and analytical skills.
Be able to identify recurring problems and communicate them clearly.
Be committed and reliable throughout the three-month period.
Be willing to learn, receive feedback, and improve.
Be comfortable collaborating with students and the 1122 team online.
Have a problem-solving mindset and the ability to adapt quickly.
Technical experience is useful, but it is not the most important requirement. We value curiosity, communication, observation, commitment, and the willingness to learn.
What you will gain
During the three-month program, you will gain practical experience in:
Project-based learning
Peer-to-peer learning
Learning experience support
Pedagogical operations
Student mentoring
Project testing and feedback
Learning analytics and observation
Communication and facilitation
Problem identification and escalation
Educational technology environments
You will also work closely with the 1122 team and gain direct exposure to how learning programs, projects, and selection experiences are designed and improved.
Duration: 3 months
Type: Volunteer opportunity
Environment: Online / 1122 Virtual Campus
At 1122, the goal is not to give students the answer.
The goal is to create the right environment for them to find it, build it, test it, fail, improve, and learn from the process.
If that way of learning makes sense to you, this role may be a good fit.
