BmoreSTEM Ecosystem launched the Student Advisory Council (SAC) on July 10, 2020. Baltimore City students from local middle schools, high school and colleges convened virtually to get to know each other, learn about BmoreSTEM’s vision and mission. The SAC will be meeting once a month during the school year to develop a plan and execute goals for the year. Check back here to learn more about each of our Student Advisory Council members (STEMbassadors) and how you can get involved!
Need: Students should have a voice and influence new and existing STEM programming throughout Baltimore.
Objective: The SAC will be the voice of students in the City, the sounding board for BmoreSTEM’s workgroup initiatives, and ambassadors and leaders in STEM in their schools, neighborhoods, and communities.
Metrics:
- pending
Current Status: Our monthly meetings are paused while we rebuild the Council. We are accepting applications for new STEMbassadors.
