Student Ambassadors

Be a Champion for Girls Like You

Student Ambassadors are Technovation alumnae who inspire and support girls in their community through the Technovation Girls program.

This exclusive group of 13-18-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.

The next round of Student Ambassador Applications will open in July 2026
