Through our partnership with DoD STEM, we’re proud to manage the STEM Ambassador Program. The DoD STEM Ambassador Program recognizes outstanding educators and promotes STEM learning across the country. DoD STEM Ambassadors are carefully chosen by the Department of Defense STEM Education Consortium (DSEC) and DoD STEM based on their commitment to preparing students for future careers in STEM.

Ambassadors participate in a variety of professional development and community building including collecting educational resources in collaboration with a partner organization, presenting in a conference of choice, blogging about educational resources in connection with DoD STEM opportunities and more.
