The newly established STEM Ambassadors, undergraduate CEMS and CALS students, kicked off their first showcase, sharing STEM activities with 36 young Vermonters on Saturday, December 4th at the South Burlington Extension office. Activity topics ranged from robotics and sustainable polymers to animal science and engineering.<\/p>\n

The STEM Ambassadors program is a collaboration between The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) and The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) Extension\/4-H . The mission of the UVM STEM Ambassadors is to share the wonders of these fields, through hands-on learning experiences in the classroom, in afterschool programs and in other youth development programs, as well as through outreach at community events. STEM Ambassadors provide a window into the vast potential of the STEM fields.<\/p>\n

By providing dynamic, hands-on learning, STEM Ambassadors will inspire and create enthusiasm for STEM subjects.
