The Defense STEM Education Consortium (DSEC) is a collaborative partnership between academia, industry, not-for-profit organizations, and government that aims to broaden STEM literacy and develop a diverse and agile workforce with the technical excellence to defend our Nation. By addressing and prioritizing critical STEM challenges, the Department of War (DoW) is investing in evidence-based approaches to inspire and develop the Nation’s science and technology workforce. Educators recognized with the DoW STEM Ambassador award will partner with DSEC to advance STEM outreach, access, and opportunity throughout the 2026-2027 year. As members of this prestigious cohort, DoW STEM Ambassadors will collaborate to share, create, and curate resources to support STEM educators across the nation in implementing high-quality STEM learning for all students.
The DoW STEM Ambassador Program is managed and facilitated by TGR Foundation. Selected DoW STEM Ambassadors will work with TGR Foundation and their DSEC or DoW host organization throughout their time in the program.
