About STEM Ambassadors
What does a STEM Ambassador do? They change lives and have an amazing time doing it!
STEM skills are increasingly essential in today’s fast-changing workplace and provide life satisfaction, enjoyment, and amazing career opportunities. We know it. You know it. But not everyone has access to that first initial spark of inspiration. Yet.
Our STEM Ambassador programme supports a network of thousands of amazing volunteers to bring real-life examples of STEM careers into schools, colleges, and universities across the UK. They help to break stereotypes and offer engaging activities to inspire the next generation into the infinite possibilities of STEM pathways.
The STEM Ambassador programme is powered by STEM Learning and funded by UK Research and Innovation.

How we work
“You can’t be what you can’t see” - introducing the human face and experience of STEM
We believe passionately in the power of bringing real-world STEM enthusiasts and role models to the classroom, school hall, youth centre, and screen!
Since 2002, we’ve worked with the business and education sector to engage millions of young people, seeing first-hand the difference that experience, advice, and engagement from real-life professionals and enthusiasts can make to young people's lives, futures, and ambitions.
Support our work, champion our future
We couldn’t change the lives we do without our incredible network of partners, sponsors and businesses who open their doors to students and support employees to become volunteer STEM Ambassadors.
Become a Partner and join our mission to help more young people discover STEM pathways.
