What is the Engineering Ambassadors Presentation Team, and what do we do?

UConn EA Presentation Team fulfills the primary function of our mission statement by engaging with students outside of the university. Our Ambassadors travel to schools for an "Off Campus" visit as well as host schools at Storrs for an "On Campus" visit.

Off-campus visits involve Ambassadors engaging with students for anywhere from 1 hour to a full school day, depending on school preference. We showcase different presentations and demonstrations to introduce students to exciting and innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities such as 3D printing, prosthetic limbs, renewable energy, and much more. All of our presentations can be tailored to fit all academic levels, along with varying degrees of interactivity for each demonstration. For more information on our demonstrations, please visit the Demonstrations page of our website.

On-campus visits offer an additional level of engagement as our Presentation Team partners with EA Tour Guides to give students tours of our CoGeneration Power Plant and Water Reclamation facility, which are housed right on campus. These visits typically last for several hours depending on which facilities schools would like to visit.

Our greatest pride as Ambassadors comes when we are able to capture the imagination and intrigue of students with our own passion for STEM. We are grateful for the opportunity to partake students' learning experience!

How can I schedule a visit?

Please provide general information about your school and expectations/hopes for the visit so we can tailor your experience to ensure a quality collaboration.

We do ask that visits be requested at least 3 weeks in advance. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
