I’ve been a STEM Ambassador for just a year now. I’ve enjoyed being involved with (for example): careers briefings / Q&As with students; world of work presentations; introducing primary school students to programming by getting them to configure then programme Sphero robots; helping a school STEM group design, build and launch (on a small rocket) a satellite payload.
I’ve just got back into being a STEM ambassador in the last couple of years after some time off when I had kids of my own. I used to do a lot of volunteering when I was a graduate and I even won Gloucestershire STEM Ambassador of the Year in 2012, which feels like a very long time ago now. That was for creating an event for schools to visit a nuclear power station and do various Energy-related workshops. Now I run an after-school STEM club at my kids’ school and it’s great having the opportunity to get young kids interested in STEM subjects.

I am a STEM ambassador for the last 3 years. I enjoy meeting young people and get them to know the fascinating world of plants.
