Mission
The goals of the STEM Educator Ambassador program are to improve STEM education and promote resources and programs readily available through the Educator Resource Center at the National STEM Academy. We strive to maintain a strong relationship with our STEM Ambassadors in order to serve STEM education.
Partnership

This partnership includes making connections with educators, families, and communities.
Ambassadors will be invited to provide information about STEM education, resources, and programs available at and through the National STEM Academy as well as participate in professional development opportunities offered through the Educator Resource Center, including the STEM Educator Workshop Series.
