For the 2023-2024 school year, Learning Undefeated will be sponsoring a teacher to be a STEM ambassador through the DoD STEM ambassador program.

As part of the program, teachers will partner with Defense STEM Education Consortium (DSEC) to advance STEM outreach throughout the 2023-2024 school year. As members of this prestigious cohort, DoD STEM Ambassadors will collaborate to create and curate resources to support STEM educators across the nation in implementing high-quality STEM learning for all students.

Teachers will receive a $20,000 award. Additional information about the STEM ambassador program can be found at https://dodstem.us/meet/ambassadors/
