New for 2021 to Celebrate MajorTim.space’s 5th Anniversary – MajorTim.space – Young Ambassador Programme.
We’re looking for young people who are passionate about STEM to become our Young Ambassadors for 2021 – 2022.
Our Young Ambassadors will take part in very exciting activities, including – conducting interviews with professionals for our YouTube channel, visiting wonderful places to review them (Covid-19 allowing), being guests at some of our events and much more.
It’s an opportunity that will look great on your CV!
You will be the Ambassador for one year after which we will elect a new group.
There will be three age categories and we will be selecting one from each to be honoured with the prestigious ‘MajorTim.space – Young Ambassador’ title –
7-9 years
10-12 years
13-14 years
Plus, because it is our 5th Anniversary we will also be giving one young person an exclusive opportunity.
All entrants will automatically be also judged for our ‘MajorTim.space Honorary Young Ambassador’ Title.
The lucky recipient of this prestigious title will be entitled to hold their position
as ambassador until they turn 14.
This is a one-off opportunity.
Each ambassador (2021-2022 and Honorary) will receive a t.shirt stating their title.
Plus, next year when we welcome our new ambassadors, you will help present and pass on the roles – sharing your tips and advice.
