Introduction to STEM Ambassadors
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Ambassadors are people from real working backgrounds who volunteer their time to act as inspiring role models to young people. They provide a refreshing change to regular lessons and activities and open the door to a whole new world for young people, helping them to see STEM subjects and careers with a fresh perspective and engage their interest and imagination in new ways.
In this section of the 3MWorldywise website, 3M shares just some of its STEM Ambassadors' experience – demonstrating how the company's busy people have managed to make great use of off-the-shelf resources in order to minimise the preparation time needed to deliver engaging activities to pupils. The links on the left take you to a PowerPoint presentation on biomimicry and other useful student-facing resources, including a number of worksheets.
