The Maryland STEM Festival Ambassador program is for any Maryland Middle or High School Student. Join us for our next virtual meeting on August 7th, at 7 pm.  Email us for link at mdstemfest@gmail.com. The Ambassador program’s objective is to promote and participate in the Festival in the months leading up to, and during, the Festival. There are additional opportunities to work with the Festival. Ambassadors receive a toolkit and swag to help promote the Festival. Ambassadors let their teachers and administrators know they are participating in the program.

1. Some of the ways Ambassadors have promoted the Festival includes:

• Host information tables at their school and in their neighborhoods
• Post on their personal social media accounts
• Draft emails for classmates and their families
• Draft information for morning announcements
• Create STEM events

2. Ambassadors are encouraged to attend and report on individual events.
3. Ambassadors can support the Festival throughout the year by:

• Hosting tables at other events
• Assisting with the website
• Creating STEM events
• Creating social media content
• Creating posters and flyers

4. Two Ambassadors can serve on the Maryland STEM Festival Board of Directors.  Email your resume if you would like to be considered for these positions.  The Board will vote on the student positions at the September 9th meeting.
5. Ambassadors can receive service hours for their work.
6. Ambassadors can be featured on our podcast!  Let me know if you would like to be on a podcast.  
7. Being an ambassador looks good on a college resume.
8. Occasionally, there are freebies, such as a tour of the new eSports facility in DC and movie tickets.

There is no minimum or maximum hours required. Our next meeting will be in early August.  The video from July 15^th Ambassador meeting is available here.
