Volunteers Needed!  

The Department of Education funded STEM Ambassadors programme needs people with science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) skills to support schools and colleges, by enhancing and enriching the relevant parts of the school curriculum.

Anyone who has a desire to inspire children and young people in STEM subjects can become an Ambassador. The main qualities that all Ambassadors share are enthusiasm and commitment, along with a passion for what they do.

Typical activities include: 

• Offering support for school activities such as science and engineering clubs
• Helping schools with STEM competitions, events and awards
• Assisting with extra-curricular STEM experiences
• Mentoring, providing careers guidance and being role-models
• Helping with work experience and work based placements for teachers and students.

The programme’s aims are:

• to bring real-life STEM examples to schools and colleges 
• to improve educational achievement in STEM subjects by supporting teachers and students 
• to excite young people about the vital role STEM plays in our lives 
• to introduce the rewarding careers opened up by STEM qualifications.
