Case Studies

The way a STEM Ambassador works with a school varies, depending on the individual and his/her skills as well as the demands of the particular school/project. The areas STEM Ambassadors can work in include:

  • Supporting the applications of STEM subjects within the classroom; arranging and/or accompanying visits to outside organisations, or supporting teachers behind the scenes
  • Helping to support extra-curricular science/engineering clubs, award schemes or help students prepare for competitions
  • Mentoring of students
  • Giving talks to schools, including parents and governors, about current issues, science/engineering in their workplace, accessing careers in STEM, their experiences etc.
  • Supporting careers guidance and acting as role models
  • Supporting the whole school more generally with their technical knowledge
  • And in many more areas where you can make a valuable contribution

However, where exactly you, as a STEM Ambassador, fit into these areas may still be unclear so below are several real case studies from STEM Ambassadors working in Scotland, maybe one of these can inspire you !
