How to get involved
STEM Ambassador
The North East STEM Foundation is working in partnership with RTC North to encourage individuals who have a passion for STEM to register as a STEM Ambassador.
The STEM Ambassador program is a UK-based initiative that recruits volunteers from the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to inspire and engage young people in STEM subjects and careers. These volunteers, known as STEM Ambassadors, visit schools, colleges, and community groups to share their expertise, passion, and real-world experiences with students. The program aims to promote STEM education, raise awareness of STEM careers, and help young people develop essential skills for the future. STEM Ambassadors play a crucial role in fostering enthusiasm for STEM subjects and encouraging the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. For more information and how to register, please see
This is a free platform for all to use.
