STEM Ambassador Resources
Developed by The Royal Academy of Engineering these resources offer a variety of quick, easy and inexpensive activity sessions that can be used by teachers to inspire students and show the diversity of engineering. Each activity offers curriculum links, handy hints, engineer or company profiles and tips for further work.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
STEM Ambassador Activity: Creating Captivating Cornflour
The information sheet, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, covers what materials are required and encourages students to think about how a material alters as it is processed and how it can be used. Students are encouraged to think about enginnering applications for a material and also the marketing of a product. There is a case…
STEM Ambassador Activity: In Control
Published by the Royal Academy of Engineering, this activity looks at using alternative forms of transport, in this case cycling. The activity centres around groups of students developing an engineered product that represents the ideas of personal transport and sustainability. There is also a case study looking at a bike manufacturing…
STEM Ambassador Activity: Perfect Pylons
Published by the Royal Academy of Engineering, this activity sheet looks at electricity and its distribution in the 21st century. Most UK households consume large amounts of energy. As more renewable sources of energy are used and the use of fossil fuels is reduced, it is important to ensure that electricity is supplied to consumers…

STEM Ambassador Support: Diversity
This information sheet, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, provides teachers with a challenges to stereotyping activity. Some students may not understand what engineering involves, others may be fully engaged in another subject, while for some engineering may appear too hard or culturally irrelevant. By using this resource teachers…
STEM Ambassador Support: Introduction and Support Information
These Royal Academy of Engineering information sheets offer teachers user guidance on how to cover some difficult topics such as careers and the ‘Engineering Message’. The activity resources have been made so that teachers using them can mix and match, use as little or as much as necessary and tailor them to their personal…
STEM Ambassador Support: Routes into Engineering
This information bulletin, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, is aimed at teachers to help them encourage students into engineering careers. The bulletin provides three case studies about young engineers and also provides a selection of activities to engage students in thinking about engineering concepts and to show them that…
STEM Ambassador Support: The Engineering Message
Produced by the Royal Academy of Engineering, this information sheet is aimed at helping teachers send a positive message across to students who can often feel that engineering has ‘nothing to do with me’. Many students do not realise that engineering is a very broad area. Much of what people buy, own, wear, eat and do…
