Who are the STEAM Ambassadors?

Allen STEAM Ambassadors is a student leadership program that allow 11th-12th grade students to develop the communication, collaborative, and leadership skills necessary for future success in STEM/STEAM academic and professional endeavors.  Ambassadors serve as STEAM advocates on campus and throughout the community as they assist in the continued development of programs offered at or through the Allen ISD STEAM Center.

How do STEAM Ambassadors develop the attributes mentioned above?

• Plan and host STEAM events at the STEAM campus and throughout Allen.
• Lead specialized small group tours of the STEAM campus with businesses, academic institutions, and professional organizations.
• Facilitate Kindergarten through 8th-grade activities during the school day as Allen elementary and middle schools visit the STEAM campus for field experiences throughout the year.
• Serve as tutors/mentors by participating in the STEAM Ambassador Program (more information about the program available on the left of this page)
• Shadow an expert or secure an internship through connections made as a STEAM Ambassador.
