Wolfram Student Ambassador Initiative
Join the Student Ambassador Initiative for networking, professional development and the chance to be a change-maker in your community.
The Wolfram Student Ambassador Initiative is a unique opportunity for students to teach and inspire others to use Wolfram technology in new and innovative ways.
While working as ambassadors, students will see an emphasis on professional development and educational growth.
The Wolfram Student Ambassador Initiative is designed for outstanding students to develop technical and leadership skills and to get access to a global network of peers. You might find your next project partner, cofounder, mentor or friend in our lively community.
The Initiative is focused on driving positive grass-roots change in STEAM classrooms, bringing high-powered software to learning groups at all levels. Ambassadors come from high schools and universities all over the world, and they work to inspire people to engage with STEAM by writing computational essays, helping answer questions online, creating content on a variety of platforms and publishing research.
If you are a student in high school or university at any level, have some experience with Wolfram technologies and are excited at the prospect of joining a thriving community, teaching and inspiring others and getting access to opportunities in technology, we encourage you to apply to join the Initiative.
Students customize their ambassadorship to suit their aspirations, skills and abilities. In collaboration with their program coordinator, students set goals and challenges for themselves and get support and mentorship to complete projects. Students have the opportunity to attend workshops focused on career development, math, chemistry, video game design, data science, design thinking and coding, as well as access to technical support, opportunities for internships and jobs, and opportunities to shape the direction of future Wolfram education programs.
