Love being on camera and explaining things in a fun, engaging way?
Join TechPals, a mission-driven startup helping older adults feel more confident with everyday technology. Founded by two serial entrepreneurs (one sold a company to Walmart, the other was featured on Shark Tank), we’re looking for student Fellows to create short-form Tech Tip videos for Instagram Reels.
You’ll come up with simple, useful tech tips and turn them into engaging videos that make technology feel approachable and easy to understand. Think iPhone tricks, helpful app features, online safety tips, AI tools, and other everyday tech advice.
This is a fully remote opportunity with an expectation of approximately 5–10 hours/week. You’ll have flexibility to brainstorm, film, and create content on your own schedule.
What You’ll Do
- Create short, engaging Tech Tip videos for Instagram Reels
- Speak directly to camera and explain technology in a clear, approachable way
- Brainstorm tips and topics that would be useful to older adults
- Turn potentially confusing tech concepts into simple, easy-to-follow explanations
- Experiment with different hooks, formats, and presentation styles
- Help shape the voice and personality of TechPals’ social media content
What You’ll Gain
- Real content creation experience – Build a portfolio of published short-form videos
- Creative ownership – Help develop recurring formats and ideas
- Mentorship & feedback – Regular guidance from experienced founders
- Startup experience – See how a growing organization develops and tests content
- Letters of recommendation – Receive personalized references for strong work
- A meaningful mission – Help make technology less intimidating and more accessible
Who We’re Looking For
- Students or recent grads who are comfortable and energetic on camera
- Strong speakers who can explain things naturally and conversationally
- People who enjoy teaching, presenting, storytelling, or making engaging content
- Interested in Instagram, Reels, TikTok, or other short-form video
- Creative, reliable, and comfortable working independently
- Able to make tech topics feel simple, useful, and fun
- Bonus if you already create social content, have video editing experience, or love discovering useful tech tricks
- You do not need to be a tech expert — curiosity, personality, and the ability to explain things clearly are more important.
