STEM Ambassadors are people working or studying in a STEM field, who have been PVG-checked by STEM Learning, who give up their time to help demonstrate the value of STEM subjects and careers.
They can:
- Show how STEM subjects apply in the real world

- Make STEM relatable by bringing experience of the everyday into lessons
The benefit of using STEM Ambassadors in the classroom include:

- Increased understanding of STEM subjects
- Increased aspiration and knowledge of STEM careers
