Become a STEM Ambassador
Join Online

If you have decided that acting as a role model for young people through the STEM Ambassador programme appeals to you then this is the place to start!

Becoming a STEM Ambassador is a three-stage process:
Registration, Disclosure and Training


Registration
 All STEM Ambassadors must complete the online Registration Form.

This information is used to:

  • Gather essential contact details and relevant past experience and skills
  • Gain information which will help when reporting our progress
  • Request details of a referee who may be contacted to vouch for the potential STEM Ambassador
  • Allows STEMNET permission for their details to be kept in a computerised database (for use only for the purposes of STEM Ambassador administration and operations).

Disclosure
 Once your registration has been processed you will be invited to attend a session where you can complete a Disclosure Application Form. In order to become an authorised STEM Ambassador you must undertake a Criminal Record check by the Criminal Records Bureau to ensure that you are suitable to work with children and young people. All potential STEM Ambassadors must apply for a Disclosure through the STEMNET registered body.

Training
 Ambassador as part of the Space School The final requirement in becoming an Ambassador is to attend induction training. (Please see Induction Training below for date of next Training Session) This ensures STEM Ambassadors are equipped with basic knowledge and information that will help to enhance their work with schools. Training covers; the purposes of the STEM Ambassador's Programme, information about schools, advice for working with pupils & teachers and an explanation about the role in supporting STEM Ambassadors.

Following the successful completion of all three stages, authorised STEM Ambassadors receive an Ambassador badge and ID card. The STEM Ambassador co-ordinator will then match up the requirements of new STEM Ambassadors with those of the schools/projects in need of help in the area. Information about current available projects can be found on the Current Activities page.

Once you have completed all three stages: registration, disclosure and training, you will be given a password which will allow you to access your activity record and amend and update your personal details.
