STEMarts International is an international youth exchange program open to our STEMarts Ambassadors (ages 14-25). We facilitate communication and collaboration between youth leaders around the world to encourage intercultural respect, creative expression and scientific-artistic-humanistic literacy. We connect Ambassadors in New Mexico with students in participating countries through classroom workshops, community bootcamps, virtual and in person trainings. They contribute to and become part of a sci-art installation as part of art and science festivals around the world. Ambassadors qualify for a travel award competition to travel to our participating host countries, all expenses paid.
Why it matters
It is more urgent than ever for our youth leaders to be informed and inspired to respond to the complex challenges of the 21st century with empathy and humanity. Students develop artistic, scientific and humanistic literacy in collaboration with students from diverse geo-cultural backgrounds to expand their identities as creative and informed planetary citizens.
