4-H STEM Ambassadors<\/strong> are trained college and university students who facilitate hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities with youth 8\u201314 years old throughout Maine. Through 4-H STEM Ambassadors, youth become connected to the research, resources, and scientists at Maine\u2019s public universities. Before 4-H STEM Ambassadors work with children, they complete hands-on training to understand how to work with and keep youth safe, as well as how to facilitate inquiry-based STEM activities.<\/p>\n

\n

4-H STEM Ambassadors develop skills such as facilitation, collaboration, and communication through their training and practice! Join us, and have fun – and get recognized by the University of Maine System. All students who work with youth in the community as a 4-H STEM Ambassador will earn Micro-Credentials from the University of Maine System (UMS).<\/p>\n

For more information about the program, and how you can become involved, reach out to UMaine Extension 4-H STEM Staff<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

UMaine faculty who are interested in adding the 4-H STEM Ambassador program to their courses can email megan.begley@maine.edu<\/a> and we will schedule a time to discuss your needs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
