WVU Extension is currently hiring undergraduate and graduate STEM majors to serve as WVU Stem Ambassadors this summer ($100/day) plus travel reimbursement). STEM Ambassadors act as science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) instructors during the summer at 4-H camps and events across West Virginia. Given training and materials, ambassadors will deliver pre-arranged STEM curricula to youth at 4-H Camps across the state of West Virginia during time frame of May 21, 2023 to August 1, 2023. Other assignments may include state 4-H camps located at Jackson’s Mill, STEM outreach at National Jamboree 2023, and the West Virginia State Fair located in Lewisburg in August, WV as well as assembly and distribution of STEM kits and materials. Room and board is provided while on assignment at camps, but ambassadors must be able to provide their own transportation to camps. This is a great opportunity for students to earn some extra money this summer, simultaneously earn i-serve hours for STEM-outreach, and improve their teaching and leadership skills, all while spreading their enthusiasm for science.
