Student Ambassador Program

Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Students Sharing their Story with K-12 Students!

The WIE Student Ambassador Program is a unique outreach program where female undergraduate and graduate engineering majors visit local elementary, middle and high schools to talk to students about careers in engineering.  Research has found that many K-12 students do not consider engineering as a major because of incorrect stereotypes or because they know very little about what engineers actually do.  This program is designed to educate students on how exciting engineering can be. 

Georgia Tech WIE Ambassadors speak to individual math and science classes as well as larger student assemblies to build interest and exposure to engineering fields for K-12 students.  Our Ambassadors talk to the students about the various engineering disciplines as well as share their personal experiences as an engineering major.

If you are a school who is interested in becoming involved with this program or a current Georgia Tech student who is interested in becoming an ambassador, please contact Ann Blasick, Associate Director of Women in Engineering, at ann.blasick@coe.gatech.edu or 404-385-1862.
