Student Ambassadors
Be a champion for other girls
Student Ambassadors are “standout” Technovation alumnae who inspire and support girls in their community through the Technovation program.
This exclusive group of 13-20-year-olds encourages peers to pursue STEM by promoting Technovation, recruiting participants, and offering mentorship.
As former participants themselves, they bring a unique perspective and deep connection to the journey, making them influential role models for the next generation of girls in STEM.
In addition to supporting their peers, Student Ambassadors gain valuable skills that set them up for future success. They develop leadership, time management, and communication abilities through exclusive opportunities like expert-led webinars, global networking events, and specialized training. Their work has a far-reaching impact—on themselves, their local communities, and the broader world.
The Technovation Student Ambassador program is selective—there is an application process, and alumnae who are selected to participate must commit to volunteering between 1-2 hours a week between October and May.
What Student Ambassadors Do
Student Ambassadors support Technovation Girls in a number of ways, including:
Recruiting students to participate in Technovation Girls by hosting local recruitment events, and/or explaining the experience of being in the program
Providing guidance and support to students throughout the season, including during the registration process
Meet regularly with local students to learn the curriculum, work on projects, and ask questions
- Helping students understand the lessons in the curriculum, and how the program works
- Motivating students to continue learning the curriculum and to complete their submission by the deadline
Speaking at local or virtual Technovation related events, to promote awareness of the program and its benefits to students
Supporting their local Chapter Ambassador, as needed
Learn leadership, time management, and other key skills for a successful future through exclusive opportunities from Technovation
Time Commitment
The average time commitment for a Student Ambassador is approximately 1 to 2 hours per week, from October through May.
Some weeks, Student Ambassadors may have no SA-related responsibilities, while in other weeks, they may spend 5 hours on SA-related tasks, such as hosting a recruitment event.
