Glossary: Futureintech Ambassadors
Futureintech Ambassadors are young people working in technology, engineering and/or science industries who have volunteered to assist in local classrooms on practical projects, such as CREST or the Neighbourhood Engineers Award scheme. This can be as simple as answering email and phone questions from the students, or making the occasional visit to the classroom to help on a project.
Futureintech Ambassadors are trained by Futureintech Facilitators to familiarise them with classroom dynamics, and to maximise the effectiveness of their time with students.
A few examples of the many projects worked on by Ambassadors over the past four years include: designing basic playground equipment and seats; baking and selling cookies; small-scale electronics projects; and improving health and safety processes.
