STEM Ambassadors supporting schools and colleges

As a school or college you can book a STEM Ambassador to come into your classroom, either face-to-face or virtually, free of charge.

STEM Ambassadors make an impact by:

Supporting learning: help young people to understand the real world applications of their learning

Illuminating careers: showcase different roles and pathways into industry, raising awareness of important skills in the workplace.

Raising aspirations: help young people meet a wide range of inspiring role models, encouraging them to think about their future.
