Youth Voices, Youth Choices: STEM Discovery Day with the Iowa STEM Youth Ambassadors
Friday November 6, 2026 TBA
 The STEM Discovery Day, created by the Iowa STEM Youth Ambassadors, is about giving high school students a better understanding of the vast STEM Field Career possibilities in Iowa. The experience provided the opportunity to learn the day-to-day tasks, schedules, and career ladder of a specific STEM industry. Students were able to network with professionals and make meaningful connections, which can help them plan for their futures. The goal for this experience was for students to walk away with a better sense of direction for what they want to pursue in their future. The Iowa STEM Youth Ambassadors planned the Discovery Day from inception to execution. From brainstorming ideas, to figuring out logistics, Youth Ambassadors took the charge in making sure the Discovery Day pilot was a valuable experience for all, enabling students to see what their STEM journeys could look like beyond the classroom. We hope to expand Discovery Day to more students throughout Iowa. At our presentation, attendees will gain insight into the process the youth ambassadors went through and how they could plan one of these days as well. They will walk away with the tools used by the Youth Ambassadors to make the day successful and educational. Educators, businesses, students, and community partners will be given resources to help them expand STEM career explorations throughout their communities.
