STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Ambassadors
The STEM Ambassador Programme is a nationwide scheme dedicated to getting more young people interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) subjects leading to an increase in young people pursuing STEM careers.
The most valuable tool young people have at their disposal when considering future career paths are the people around them, and we believe that STEM Ambassadors can be their greatest source of inspiration.
Do you work in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) industry? Do you have a passion for a particular STEM subject? Are you interested in passing this information onto young people?
If the answer is yes, become a STEM Ambassador! STEM Ambassadors are volunteers that aim to inspire young people to become interested in STEM subjects and consider a career in a STEM industry.
You could help run an experiment, mentor students in various subjects, get involved in careers events, run an engineering project, design fun maths games, set up a STEM club, or run a tech evening at a brownie/cub group. There are lots of options!
If you are interested, please register on the database at db.stemnet.org.uk or check out the website www.aberdeensciencecentre.org/stem-ambassadors/. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me at stemambassadors@asc.scot. Once you have registered, you will be required to attend an induction where you will complete a PVG – Protection of Vulnerable Groups scheme application along with meeting other new STEM Ambassadors. We hope to hear from you soon.
