Inspiring the Next Generation: Telefónica Tech’s Commitment to STEM Education

Empowering Young Minds in STEM

STEM Ambassadors are dedicated volunteers who work in or study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, aiming to inspire young people by providing real-life insights into these disciplines. Encouraging students to explore STEM careers is crucial for fostering innovation and economic growth.

The Glasgow Academy Workshop

The Glasgow Academy organized these workshops to help students gain a better understanding of STEM career opportunities. The day’s theme centered on embracing one’s authentic self and leveraging personal strengths in a professional setting. STEM Ambassadors led various breakout sessions, sharing their experiences and expertise.

The Importance of STEM Careers

Promoting STEM careers is vital for preparing young people for future job prospects. As technology evolves rapidly, the demand for skilled STEM professionals is increasing. By introducing students to successful STEM role models, we aim to inspire and motivate them to pursue careers in these fields. Seeing individuals who have overcome similar challenges can boost students’ confidence and encourage them to follow their passions.
