RPI Science Ambassadors

Today our Vice President of Science Ambassadors, Stephanie Black, and the RPI Physics Department DEI Taskforce, led by Dr. Humberto Terrones, hosted the RPI School of Science very first Buckyball Competition. It was an amazing event and the students truly had a blast. Thank you to the 6th and 7th graders from Troy Prep Middle School for participating! Hopefully we will see you all again next year!

If you are interested in learning more about Science Ambassadors and would like to join us, we will be hosting an information session. See you there!

The Science Ambassadors, also known as STEM
Ambassadors, are an assembly of highly motivated
undergraduate students focused on inspiring a
younger audience to explore the role of science,
technology, engineering, and math in society. Science Ambassadors participate in extensive communications and
professional development training in order to learn
techniques to develop highly engaging presentations
and hands-on demonstrations to bring STEM to life in
K-12 classrooms. A typical presentation and activity
fit into a 40-minute block. They expose the students
to the STEM fields, encourage them to consider
STEM careers, and help them define the relevance
between their classroom learning and real world
applications.
