British Science Week (BSW) runs from 6–15 March 2026 and is a celebration of all things STEM. Engaging STEM Ambassadors can bring real-world expertise and inspiration into your classroom, helping students connect with science, technology, engineering and maths in meaningful ways.
BSW is the busiest of the year for STEM Ambassadors it is good to start planning in advance!
Please note: during British Science Week there are more requests from teachers and community groups than in other weeks of the year so we will not be able to fulfil all of them.
How can the STEM Ambassadors programme help with British Science Week?
Join one of our 30-minute online information sessions to find out how the STEM Ambassadors Programme can support learning and provide inspiration during British Science Week 2026 and beyond. These sessions are for all educators (teachers, lecturers, careers leads, technicians, leaders) from all primary, secondary and post-16 settings, and community groups (such as Scouts, Guides, and Code Clubs) based in the UK.
There are 2 ways you can get a STEM Ambassador involved in your celebrations
Join one of our school webinars: Throughout the week, we’ll be running a variety of webinars, all hosted by STEM Ambassadors, for you to show your students in the classroom. These are all free and bookable via our Eventbrite page – make sure to follow the page to be notified when new webinars are added.
Post a request on the STEM Ambassadors platform: If you can’t find a webinar to suit you, you can put up a request for a STEM Ambassador. For full guidance on how to post a request, visit our teacher information page.
