Big Idea 1
Students most often don’t know about careers in STEM, and as a volunteer speaker, I have the opportunity to be a role model
Big Idea 2
We can attract students to STEM careers by using positive messaging.
Big Idea 3
Education in STEM provides lots of career options and opportunities
Big Idea 4
Success in mathematics and science is not based on innate ability

How can we motivate and recruit STEM
Ambassadors?
What tools do Ambassadors use, or need, to be the most
effective?
What sort of network is needed to support the
requesting and assignment of Ambassadors?
How can we monitor and improve the image and
messaging of STEM careers by Ambassadors?
How can we capitalize on the personal stories of STEM Ambassadors to
inspire students via social media and the web?
Are Ambassadors better equipped to speak about their STEM professions in
the schools after a workshop?
How effective are STEM Ambassadors in
improving student awareness of and interest
in STEM careers?
