There are a number of awareness days coming up relevant to STEM Ambassadors which you may want to get involved in. They are a great chance to talk about what you do on social media or look for activity requests from teachers and youth group leaders.
National Mental Health Awareness Week: 10 – 16 May<\/strong> Student mental health continues to be an issue schools are tackling, particularly in light of the pandemic, so this is a great initiative to get involved with. You could share your own tips or experiences, or simply\u00a0promote some of the resources<\/a>\u00a0to help others talk about mental health. The\u00a02021 theme for the week is nature\u00a0and\u00a0this\u00a0FAQ page<\/a>\u00a0is a great place to start.
Volunteers Week: 1 -7 June<\/strong> Here are a few ideas for blogs or social media posts:
Tell us how you have kept volunteering over the past 12 months. Tell us your favourite STEM activity to run with young people… better yet film a short video of you introducing it. Tell us why you first started volunteering, who’s your STEM inspiration, or\u00a0what event first got you to sign up as a STEM Ambassador. Tag us on social media (@STEMAmbassadors<\/a>) and we’ll share the best posts we see.\u00a0
Women in Engineering Day: 23 June<\/strong> We would love a couple of female STEM Ambassadors to write a blog or film a video to help us promote Women In Engineering Day.\u00a0Email\u00a0marketing@stem.org.uk\u00a0<\/a>if you would like to submit an idea.

You could share something on social media too, here are a few ideas to get you started:
Tell us about your job as an engineer. Tell us how you became an engineer. Tell us what skills or qualities a good engineer\u00a0needs. Share an engineering project which inspires you (big or small).<\/td><\/tr>
STEM Inspiration Awards: winners announced 20 May<\/strong><\/span><\/td><\/tr>
We will be announcing the winner of the STEM Inspiration Awards on 20 May at 4pm.

Originally postponed from 2020 the STEM Inspiration Awards celebrates STEM Employers, STEM technicians, STEM Clubs, and STEM Ambassadors who have gone above and beyond to support STEM education, including those who have done tremendous amounts to keep volunteering during the pandemic. 

We’d love for you to join us. Winners will be announced via video on the STEM Learning YouTube<\/a> channel.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
New STEM Teacher app released<\/strong><\/span><\/td><\/tr>
Last week we released the companion app to the STEM Ambassador App – STEM Teacher.

This allows Teachers to manage their activities and request STEM Amabssadors all from their phone. It includes the same calendar links and notifications which the Ambassador app includes, and will make planning and working with teachers on the go all the easier.

The STEM Ambassador App and the STEM Teacher App are both available on Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a>.

 <\/td><\/tr>
What’s coming up<\/strong><\/span><\/td><\/tr>
National Mental Health Awareness Week<\/a>: 10 – 16 May
National Numeracy Day<\/a>: 19 May
Outdoor classroom Day<\/a>: 21 May
Volunteers’ Week<\/a>: 1 – 7 June

Teachers still need help from STEM Ambassadors, and you can do this online. Find Ambassador requests in your region on your dashboard<\/a> or make an offer<\/a>.

As always, we\u2019d love to hear any feedback you might have; please get in touch<\/a>.
