Welcome to the STEM Ambassador Programme in the South West!
These Discover Sessions are hosted by your local STEM team, whatever you want to do or achieve as a STEM Ambassador the STEM team is always here to help. We know that it can be daunting putting yourself forward to support an activity, and it can be tricky finding an event that would be a good fit for your STEM specialism and your schedule. We can't tell you what event would be perfect for you, but we can give you an overview of what to expect from volunteering to help you spot that right opportunity when it comes along.
Everyone is welcome to attend a Discover Session, though they are intended to support new and returning STEM Ambassadors who would like to learn more about STEM events taking place in our area and what to expect from volunteering. During this webinar we will cover:
- what are the main types of STEM Events (infographic below)
- what does the STEM Ambassador actually do at these events
- any planning and preparation that may be required
- what events and projects are coming up in the next few weeks
- how to volunteer
Discover Sessions run monthly, please book a place at your preferred session via the 'Select a Date' button. Webinar sessions run from 1pm-1.45pm with an optional Q&A from 1.45pm-2pm.
