The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has opened the application period for the AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors program which will bring together 100 women from a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers to serve as high-profile role models for middle school girls.
STEM professionals use their skills in many fields – including entertainment, fashion, gaming, manufacturing, music, research and development, architecture, retail and technology. The AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors program will highlight women in STEM who are contributing to all these fields and more, showing girls the different career pathways they can pursue and how STEM impacts their lives every day.
This once in a lifetime opportunity to be an IF/THEN AAAS Ambassador may include (but is not limited to):
- Participation in a summit which will empower AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors take their outreach to the next level.
- Online engagement with each other and with a wider network of experts.
- Opportunity to participate in a wide variety of media opportunities including original media content that will reach girls where they access content the most.
- Opportunity to connect directly with middle school girls in their classrooms, in informal science education settings.
