The Maryland STEM Festival Ambassador program is for any Maryland Middle or High School Student.
Join us for our next virtual meeting on Aug 21st at 4:30. 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.
“During my time as an ambassador, I had the opportunity to readily pursue my passions for STEM and community service in a novel yet engaging way. I am blessed to have met so many interesting and curious peers and mentors, and I heavily recommend pursuing an ambassador position for anyone interested in STEM. Whether it was being a part of the podcast or volunteering at outreach events, I feel that I’ve successfully made my mark. The community I have been a part of has not only supported my own love for science but has allowed to spread this passion to so many other people from so many different backgrounds. Overall, it was an unforgettable and highly enriching experience.”
