Tech We Can Champions
Tech We Can Champions are volunteers who use our educational resources to inspire future generations about a career in tech.
What do champions do?
As a Tech We Can Champion, you'll use our educational resources in schools (either in person or virtually) to inspire children about a future career in technology.
Our Tech We Can educational resources are designed for use by everyone, so you don't need any specialist knowledge to be able to deliver the lessons to students.
To become a Tech We Can Champion, you must first register as a STEM Ambassador before delivering any content to students (this is a free process and a requirement assuming you're not a qualified teacher). For your benefit, this provides you with:
- A free DBS check
- An induction to working with young people
- Access to a variety of STEM resources
- Access to a community of like-minded STEM volunteers
