An Iowa STEM Youth Ambassadors Group, formerly known as the Youth Advisory Board, was established under the Iowa Governor's STEM Advisory Council in 2017. The Youth Ambassadors Group is instrumental in contributing to the STEM Council's mission and inspiring Iowa youth in STEM through peer-to-peer engagement.
The Iowa STEM Youth Youth Ambassador Group is comprised of Iowa youth from middle school to college age who have a passion or interest in science, technology, engineering or mathematics.
The Iowa STEM Youth Ambassador Group aims to:
- Provide a youth perspective to Iowa STEM;
- Expand Iowa STEMβs reach to Iowa youth.
- Be a community STEM advocate.
Engage with Iowa STEM events.
The group meets monthly, takes on projects as a team and is a voice for peers.
