It has challenged stereotypes and instilled a more ‘can-do’ attitude for STEM subjects and ‘why not me?’ The variety of challenges and activities with a range of different STEM Ambassadors meant that the pupils were really excited and enthused about what each day would bring.
STEM Ambassadors who can talk about their everyday life once they’ve left school, or are further on in their developed careers, can really focus students. They’re effectively an interface between the student and the opportunities which are out there.
