Engineering, Design and Computing High School Ambassador Program

Designed for passionate and motivated Year 11 students, the Ambassador Program provides students an avenue to deepen their knowledge and raise the profile of engineering, design, or computing within their classrooms.

The program will challenge students to develop their leadership abilities and communication skills and offer them the chance to connect with like-minded students across Queensland.

Ambassadors will receive mentoring opportunities, access to events, a badge, a certificate of participation, and a UQ merch pack. Students who go on to enrol in engineering, design, architecture, IT, or computer science at UQ will be invited to join the EAIT Student Ambassador Program.

Students in Year 11 in 2024 must be nominated by a teacher and demonstrate an interest in engineering, design, architecture, or computing.
