I Need a Nerd is taking part in a nationwide initiative to inspire more young people to get envolved with science, technology, engineering and maths. The STEM ambassador program has been set up to address the growing concerns regarding the skills gap that exists in the United Kingdom and will continue to grow if left untouched.

Ambassadors get involved in a number of diverse and innovative projects including...

• Delivering activities such as Science and Engineering clubs
• Helping with school competitions, events and awards
• Offering mentoring and careers talks
• Acting as a role model to young learners
• Providing work-based placements for teachers and students

Since the programme was launched in 2002, Science and Engineering Ambassadors have taken part in around 24,000 volunteer activities, working with over 750,000 pupils aged between 5 and 19. We look forward to helping mould the next generation of nerds!
