STEMarts Youth Ambassador Registration Form 2026
This application is to register as an Ambassador for the STEAM Youth Leadership Program, a free year-long program runs annually from January 14- to November 15, 2026, open to participants aged 14 to 25 in New Mexico.

LEARN FROM SCIENTISTS - CREATE WITH ARTISTS- IMAGINE A BETTER WORLD 

HOW IT WORKS:

Once you register you become part of the Ambassador program which is the entry level for all programs.
Join our global community of youth leaders by becoming a STEMarts Ambassador! 

Ambassadors are added to an international WhatsApp group where training opportunities and events are listed. They are encouraged to participate in as many opportunities as possible to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to earn stipends as experience guides and peer-to-peer instructors. Based on the skills acquired, Ambassadors can access higher levels of opportunities within the organization and secure  internship opportunities in the fields of art, science, and technology.

Through this Ambassador program, you’ll join our Zoom STEAM TEAMS to acquire valuable 21st-century skills in event production, space literacy, science-art communication, Digital Media Art and A.I.  Through these sessions you develop valuable 21st century skills and contribute to the final creative products including a Space Podcasts and Radio Show the STEMarts LIVE CODING performances.

In 2026 we will be diving into the STEMarts LIVE CODING Lab to explore astrophysics, quantum physics and Space Humanism in partnership with the United Nations Telecommunications Union's Space for Good Initiative. Learn more here: https://stemarts.com/2025/11/24/stemarts-live-coding-lab-in-2026/
