Scientix Ambassadors and their students rocking national and international science competitions
If there is one great thing about working with Scientix Ambassadors, it is keeping up with their amazing activities and restless passion to prove to the future generation how cool STEM subjects are!
Each Scientix Ambassador finds many creative and innovative ways to motivate students to learn more about STEM professions and careers, but in this article, we chose to talk about the National and International Competitions they participate in, such as the NASA Space Apps hackathon or the European Astro Pi Challenge!
Let’s start with last February, when six students from Loreto Grammar School in Altrincham, England, made it through to the final of The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition after wowing the judges at the online heats. Elaine Manton, STEM Ambassador in the UK, says their contribution was inspired by Scientix and STEM Alliance!
