HOW TO
OFFERS
RESOURCES
Case studies blog
Some STEM Ambassadors will be sharing their stories of STEM activity during the week – this is a great chance for you or your Young STEM Leaders to learn more about what kind of activities STEM Ambassadors can be involved and how you can plan them. Publication of the blogs will be spread throughout the week.
STEM Ambassador Passport
To make it even more fun and rewarding to engage with our STEM Ambassadors, we've created a new STEM Ambassador Passport. The passport has a grid of different objectives for pupils to achieve. Once they've completed them all, email us at stemambassadors@sserc.scot and we'll send you certificates for your pupils and give your school a special shout out on social media.
