We're delighted to reveal our latest Impact Report. 🤝 We have come a long way since since we were established 20 years ago, but us winning 'Initiative of the Year' at the WorldSkills UK Awards, proves our impact is still intense and needed. Most importantly, we want to take this time to say THANK YOU! Whether you volunteer for us, request Ambassadors yourself, or support us as a business/philanthropist, we would be nothing without you. 😊 #Education Séverine Jim

Powered by STEM Learning and funded by UKRI. We are bringing real-life examples of STEM careers to all young people.
About us
STEM Ambassadors are volunteers from a wide range of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related jobs and disciplines across the UK. They offer their time and enthusiasm to help bring STEM subjects to life and demonstrate their value in life and careers for over 3 million young people across the UK. Delivering over 350,000 volunteering hours in the last year alone, STEM Ambassadors are an important, free-of-charge resource for teachers and other individuals working with young people both in and outside of the classroom. Our aim is to ensure that every young person within the UK has the chance to be inspired and engaged with STEM subjects by accessing support from STEM Ambassadors UK. To help us achieve this goal it is important for our STEM Ambassadors to provide a representative and diverse reflection of STEM that challenges existing stereotypes. From various disciplines such as engineers, designers, architects and technicians, to diverse backgrounds - 48% of our Ambassadors are women, 54% are under 35 and 17% are from ethnic minorities – our Ambassadors help bring a new and inspiring perspective to STEM lessons and career opportunities.

Christina, a Software Engineer at Google, proves here what we all try to unlock every day. STEM... is FUN! 🐀 The key challenge with young people is finding the angles of trending conversations and culture which highlight that STEM concepts were likely behind it. This gets them interested, starting their self-discovery. STEM Ambassadors give the classroom support to achieve this, with volunteers working in industry who can set alight lessons in interesting ways. Teachers, learn how to request one on our Eventbrite: https://lnkd.in/eEqYg8cu #Coding #Ratatouille The Walt Disney Company

The STEM Ambassadors programme is delivered by 12 partners across the nation, who uplift and make an impact of our work at a local level. For example, the STEM Ambassadors in Scotland team is run by SSERCOFFICIAL It was great to see staff from one of the organisations signed up in the region, industry body ScotlandIS, volunteering at a recent career fair. Making young people aware of careers in technology is the most direct way we work with employers. If you think your staff would feel empowered doing something similar, please do reach out: https://lnkd.in/eZ-PMup7 🧑💻 #Scotland #Technology McLaren High School

Happy #InternationalVolunteerDay from United Nations Volunteers! In the UK, we continue to face significant challenges in creating a skills pipeline for the future in STEM-related occupations and industries. 💭 If we are to remain competitive and innovative, we need an increasing number of young people to be enthused by STEM subjects at school and inspired by the STEM careers available. This is where STEM Ambassadors come in! Check out the pinned post on our profile to read our 2024 Impact Report, to see how we provide much-needed support to the UK's primary and secondary schools. 🧑🏫 #RoleModels #Subjects #Skills

Great to see one of our Minerals Matter STEM Ambassadors Michael Dinata taking part in a panel discussion at the Resourcing Tomorrow conference today. Michael and the other student and graduate panelist’s discussed what they are looking for in a career in mining, from having an impact, being part of the solution and being aligned to an organisations mission. A great session to highlight the opportunities available for young people in the minerals sector across the globe. MAUK - The Mining Association of the UK UKMEF

We love hearing stories like this from our CEO Séverine Trouillet FRSA ❤️..
Thinking that flying drones is just a hobby? I had to think again after attending one of the best STEM competitions I was invited to by RTX and Rosie Lawrence: the #QuadcopterChallenge. The Year 9 teams competing in the finals had to develop so many technical AND soft skills..it made me even more convinced that #STEMenrichment is worth investing in. The school/cadets teams had to: ✅ present their concept in front of a big audience and very inquisitive judges- #Presentationskills & resilience ✅ Work as a team, allocate different tasks and collaborate in a time pressured environment - #Teamwork ✅ Manage a budget to buy the component for their drones, having to use recycled materials to save money and align with their sustainability pledge - #Financialeducation and #sustainabilityeducation ✅ Research extreme environments including natural disasters, space, nuclear safety where their drones could help - #geography #geopolitics #space #globalcitizenship ✅ Design their drones using CAD tools, 3Dprint some parts, make sure it is light enough to fly and has landing gear to bounce safely on the floor - #STEMskills #DesignTechnology #engineering ✅ Fly the drone through an obstacle course, get a flying license from the #CAA and learn about flight safety - #practicalskills #regulatory It was great to see so many STEM Ambassadors with their bright red tops on, supporting the teams while they were navigating the obstacle course, presenting on stage or fixing their drones. The most heart-warming story? Some of the STEM Ambassadors had taken part in the challenge a few years back and had started working for RTX as apprentices and engineers! The best proof of the #impact of this competition. Thank you to all the teams for the warm welcome there and I must say, I can't wait for next year's competition to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a bang. #socialvalue #diversityinstem RTX Collins Aerospace Raytheon UK

Over the past year alongside UK Research and Innovation, we created a dedicated funding stream to ensure that we could always support the interventions that were needed most across the UK for disadvantaged communities, with STEM Ambassadors always intertwined. Watch on to see one of these in action - Powered by CAN & BOM (Birmingham Open Media) working with a group of girls to make a video game with a black scientist as the protagonist! 🔊 Mikayla, Fatima, Divannia
