STEM Ambassadors
STEM Ambassadors are people with a background in science, technology, engineering or maths who volunteer their time to work with local schools, teachers and young people.
They provide a refreshing change to regular lessons and activities and open the door to a whole new world for young people, helping them to see STEM subjects and careers with a fresh perspective and engage their interest and imagination in new ways.
STEM Ambassadors can support a range of activities including:
- Business & Enterprise days
- Interview Skills days
- Mentoring programmes
- Offer work experience placements
- Give talks in school based on their own experiences
- Support out of school activities such as clubs, competitions and other projects
Ambassadors have the opportunity to:
- Gain a fresh perspective on day to day work when seen through the eyes of the students
- Face a different challenge to that of everyday work
- Enjoy a sense of achievement after delivering an activity
- Help make a difference in the local community
- Challenge stereotypes young people have about STEM subjects and related careers
- Strengthen your own skills, including communication, planning and presentation skills
- Have lots of fun and enjoy the buzz and energy from the young people!
