    STEM Ambassadors Programme
     The STEM Ambassador Programme is a UK wide programme, which has recruited more than 20,000 volunteers since its inception in 2002. It goes from strength to strength with nearly 800 STEM Ambassadors enrolled in the West of Scotland.

    STEM Ambassadors are volunteers from a wide range of disciplines eg forensic science, geology, mechanical engineering, parasitology, statistics etc who want to share their enthusiasm for their careers to encourage pupils to take an interest in STEM Subjects in later stages of education.

    STEM Ambassadors can get involved in a number of diverse and innovative projects including:

  • Helping to provide support for activities such as Science and Engineering clubs
  • Helping with school competitions, events and awards
  • Offering mentoring and careers talks
  • Acting as a role model to young learners
  • Providing work-based placements for teachers and students

    The STEM Ambassador Programme is a FREE resource to teachers to enhance and enrich STEM related activities through links with the "real world".
