NOTE: Compensation is $5 per image, with an expected pace of approximately 6 images per hour. Because the platform does not allow per-image pay, the rate is displayed as $30/hour, which reflects that per-image calculation.

We are seeking skilled and creative Image Creators with an education background to design content-based visuals that support instruction in secondary-level Science courses, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth and Space Science, Environmental Science, and Middle School Science.

This position requires creating engaging, accurate images to enhance student learning and classroom instruction. Applicants must be comfortable working collaboratively, incorporating feedback, and ensuring visuals align with educational standards and course objectives.

Responsibilities

  • Create curriculum-aligned images for secondary-level Science.
  • Develop two types of images:
  • Unique and original images designed from scratch.
  • Stock images modified with added elements (e.g., arrows, text, labels).
  • Produce visuals such as:
  • Free body diagrams
  • Maps and geographic illustrations.
  • Graphs and charts
  • Diagrams of scientific processes.
  • Ensure accuracy, clarity, and age-appropriate design.
  • Collaborate with curriculum designers and respond to feedback.

Qualifications

  • Required: Proficiency with Canva (image creation and editing).
  • Background in science, or related fields.
  • Ability to research and ensure historical and cultural accuracy in visuals.
  • Strong collaboration skills, including openness to feedback and revisions.
  • At least 3 years of teaching experience, having occurred within the last 5 years

Preferred Skills

  • Experience creating visuals for secondary education.
  • Familiarity with curriculum standards in science.
  • Understanding of accessibility and inclusivity in educational materials.
  • Familiarity with ADA and ADA visual compliance

Compensation

  • Contract based
  • $5 per standard image (unique or modified).

Performance Task — Image Creator Application

As part of the application process, you will be asked to complete two sample visuals. This will help us evaluate your ability to design instructional, content-based images for secondary-level Science courses.

Task Overview

Please create two visuals using Canva(or a similar design platform) and if necessary AI tools. Each image should be accurate, clear, and appropriate for a secondary Science.

Figure 1: Model of Photosynthesis Labeled diagram showing a healthy green plant in a pot placed under bright sunlight. Yellow arrows labeled “Sunlight” point from the Sun toward the plant’s leaves. A blue arrow labeled “Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)” enters the leaf from surrounding air. An orange arrow labeled “Water (H₂O)” moves upward from the soil into the plant’s roots and stem. Inside the leaf, a simple cutaway box shows these three inputs combining. A green arrow labeled “Glucose (Food for the Plant)” leaves the cutaway area toward the stem, and a light blue arrow labeled “Oxygen (O₂)” exits the leaf into the air. All labels are clear, with each arrow drawn in a straight, easy-to-follow line.

Figure 2: Modeling a Galvanic Cell

Here’s the full version with a clear opening description plus the simplified 2-panel layout:

One figure made of two equal square panels showing the main stages of how ions and electrons move in a simple galvanic cell. Both panels use the same two-beaker setup with a zinc electrode on the left, a copper electrode on the right, an external wire connecting them, and a U-shaped salt bridge between the beakers.

Panel 1 — Starting the Reaction

  • Two equal beakers side by side.
  • Left beaker: zinc electrode labeled “Zn(s)” in a solution labeled “Zn²⁺(aq).”
  • Right beaker: copper electrode labeled “Cu(s)” in a solution labeled “Cu²⁺(aq).”
  • External wire connects the electrodes with an arrow showing electrons moving from zinc to copper.
  • A few Zn atoms on the zinc electrode turn into Zn²⁺ and enter the solution.
  • A few Cu²⁺ ions move toward the copper electrode.
  • Caption: Electrons move from zinc to copper as the reaction begins.

Panel 2 — Charge Balance and Metal Changes

  • Same setup and scale as Panel 1.
  • Inside the salt bridge, arrows show anions moving toward the zinc side and cations moving toward the copper side.
  • Zinc electrode looks slightly thinner as more Zn²⁺ enters the solution.
  • The copper electrode appears slightly thicker as Cu atoms deposit on its surface.
  • Arrows still show ongoing electron flow in the wire.
  • Caption: The salt bridge balances charge while zinc dissolves and copper forms.

FINAL NOTE: Instead of a traditional interview, we’re asking applicants to use that time to show us what you can do by creating the two sample images listed above. These samples are only for evaluation purposes. We will not use, publish, or retain any images created during the application process. (Reminder, the compensation advertised, if hired, is $5/image.
