Volunteer to join our nationwide crew of Wonder Project Ambassadors and help kaiako (teachers) spark wonder in the next generation of STEM professionals.

Wonder Project Ambassadors are professionals working in the STEM sector who want to make a real difference. As an ambassador, you represent STEM and everything that’s wonder-ful about it. Your job is to impart your wisdom, passion, and excitement, inspiring ākonga (students) to pursue a career in STEM.

As an ambassador you'll be paired with a local class to help them work through one of our Wonder Project challenges over a school term. There's no need to be an expert in any of the challenge material as we'll give you all the training and guidance you need.

To be a Wonder Project Ambassador you need to:

• be passionate
• have a level 4+ qualification
• be working or studying in STEM
• be a confident communicator
• be comfortable working with kaiako
• be available for school visits
• have employer support

🌊 Water Challenge 🌊

Ready, set, flow! Ākonga construct and test a mini model of Aotearoa New Zealand's wai network. They'll explore the journey of wai and how STEM is used to collect, clean, connect and care for one of Earth’s most precious taonga.

The challenge takes classes 1–2 hours per week across 6–8 weeks to complete, but you only need to be available for at least 3 hours during the challenge to visit the classroom.

The Water Challenge targets ākonga aged 11–13 years old and runs during Term 3 (14 July – 19 September 2025).
