The enthusiasm was contagious: children leaned in, families asked questions, and even adults rediscovered a sense of wonder as the Ambassadors connected hands-on creativity to the science of the Sun. The Ambassadors shared their personal STEM journeys, encouraged younger learners to pursue curiosity, and modeled what it looks like to be confident, informed science communicators.<\/p>\n<p>The Ambassadors worked behind the scenes to support event logistics, networked with STEM leaders, and even represented the high-school perspective on a STEM panel. Ambassador Layla Criner offered practical advice on how students can get involved, and stay involved, in STEM. The powerful impact of the Ambassadors underscored why this NASA eClips program matters: it empowers students not only to communicate NASA<br \/>science, but to lead it.<\/p>\n<p>NASA eClips, led by the NIA-CISE, is supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AB91A and is part of NASA\u2019s Science Activation Portfolio. The mission of NASA eClips is to engage and inspire students in STEM through the lens of NASA by delivering standards-aligned, web-based resources that support learning both in and out of the classroom. The STEM Student Ambassador Program is funded by a grant from the Virginia Coastal STEM Hub through the Virginia General Assembly.
