Support the Maryland STEM Festival through GoFundMe

Student Ambassador Program

We are having an Ambassador CALL on Thursday July 13th at 630 pm!  Email mdstemfest@gmail.com for the Zoom link!

 

Maryland STEM Festival Student Ambassadors are a group of High and Middle School students, along with their parents and teachers, who support the Festival’s mission by spreading the word about Festival programs and events in their communities.  The Ambassador program provides students the opportunity to work together and gain valuable leadership, organizational and social skills, all while helping to increase public awareness of STEM in their own community.   This is a exciting way to earn services hours and it looks good on your college resume!

Each year two ambassadors serve as non-voting Festival Board of Directors.They sit in on monthly Board Meetings and assist with the planning and operation of the Board.

 

Ambassador Expectations

Dedicate 10-12 hours from September through November to promoting the Maryland STEM Festival

As an Ambassador, you and your fellow students help to spread the word about Festival programs:

  • At your school – Hang posters, distribute Festival literature and swag, share information with STEM clubs and programs, host an MSF info table during lunch, present to your school leaders and PTA, make school announcements and send a letter home, etc.
  • At a lower-level school – Ask the teachers and adminstrators at the middle or elementary school you attended if you can promote the Festival there.  If they approve, hang posters, distribute Festival literature, prepare a letter to be sent home.
  • In the community – share with peers and parents at after-school clubs and activities, at your local library, in your faith community
  • On social media – use your influence to share @MdSTEMFest 2023 content and post picture of your ambassador work on your social media accounts.

Ambassadors are required to attend one Festival event, take pictures and get feedback from attendees.
