The DoW STEM Ambassador Program, managed by TGR Foundation, recognizes outstanding educators and promotes STEM learning across the nation. DoW STEM Ambassadors work together to create and curate remote learning and digital materials such as lesson plans, learning activities, and creative engagement approaches to be shared with educators.
databot partners with TGR each year to provide DoW Ambassadors with a class set of databots to implement in their programs. Ambassadors come from a wide variety of backgrounds and deploy their databot programs in a wide variety of creative ways!!
“The STEM ambassadorship has been one of the most rewarding experiences. It’s led me to this job, which I absolutely love, and it’s gotten me so many contacts all over the country. Teachers and STEM Outreach programs, people from the DoD. And I sincerely appreciate the Tiger Woods Foundation for sponsoring this. ”
— Chantelle Couvillon, CTE/STEM Coordinator
Twice a year databot and the TGR Foundation team up to provide a free Professional Development workshop that includes work from a DoWSTEM Ambassador. These workshops are recorded and include actionable materials that you can take back to your classroom and implement immediately.
