Ambassadors

STEP UP Ambassadors are committed to the goal of inspiring young women to pursue physics, through training and supported implementation of the STEP UP curriculum in classrooms around the country. The 2021-2022 Ambassador program will include teacher Advocates (a new position!). The Advocates will implement the STEP UP curriculum in their own schools.

Student outreach

Help STEP UP recruit teachers to be a part of the movement. You can make a difference!

About the program

Drawing on research evidence, STEP UP is mobilizing thousands of high school physics teachers to reduce barriers and inspire young women to pursue physics degrees in college. Our lesson materials are research-driven and will help shift deep-seated cultural views about who does physics.
