Join monthly mentoring sessions with professionals from STEM and entrepreneurship fields. Discover inspiring career paths, ask your burning questions, and explore future study and career options.

Join hands-on, interactive workshops created especially for Girls Go STEM Ambassadors. These sessions build practical skills and creativity, and offer a space for learning and collaboration.

A select group of ambassadors will be on stage at the Women and Girls in STEM Forum or other EIT Community events and will work closely with the Girls Go STEM team to contribute to their success.
Get featured in official communications
Share your story. Participate in interviews for official Girls Go STEM and EIT Community communications. Whether it’s an article, video, blog, or social media post, your story can inspire other girls to follow your path.
What are the roles and responsibilities of an Ambassador?

Encourage your peers to take part in the Student Challenge, along with any other exciting opportunities the Girls Go STEM initiative offers.
