Why become a STEM Ambassador?

STEM Ambassadors (formerly known as SEAs) could be mathematicians, engineers, scientists, or lab technicians working in academia, industry or other STEM related careers. An ambassador inspires and enthuses young people about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) by getting involved in activities taking place within schools. Fewer and fewer young people go on to study STEM subjects and UK PLC is facing a potential skills gap. Ambassadors can help with this. See case studies for examples of Ambassadors supporting West of England schools.

Why become a STEM Ambassador?

• It’s a new and challenging experience

• It’s a chance to share your enthusiasm for your subject and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers

• It’s an opportunity to give something back to the community, and develop employer links

• It contributes to personal and professional development

• It has potential for accreditation or contributes to chartered status application

What do STEM Ambassadors do?

• Help deliver activities such as Science and Engineering clubs

• Help with school competitions, events and awards

• Give a talk about a particular topic

• Offer careers advice during a school careers event

• Act as a role model to young learners

• Provide work-based placements for teachers and students

Is it a big commitment?

STEM Ambassadors will be expected to take part in a 2 hour induction and will then be expected to take part in one activity in a year. But obviously we would be pleased if you could do more! This could be anything from an hour long talk, to a day long workshop, through to a weekly appearance at an after school club for a whole term. How much you do, is up to you!
