Becoming a STEM Ambassador

SSERC are the Scottish Delivery Partners for the STEM Ambassador Programme and the team work in partnership with YSLP, also based at SSERC, offering the opportunity to have real-life examples of STEM careers in schools, colleges and universities nationwide. The STEM Ambassador programme supports a broad network of volunteers that help challenge the stereotypes permeating STEM fields and can offer a wide range of support such as engaging activities for the next generation to be inspired by STEM pathways.
