Through YT Ambassadors, volunteer students visited their hometown’s schools to talk about science

The YT Ambassadors program, organized by the Yachay Tech Student Association, completed its first edition. Yachay Tech Ambassadors is an initiative that seeks to promote scientific research as a life option in high school students. In the first edition of the program, 26 Yachay Tech students participated as volunteers, taking their stories to schools in their hometowns during the summer.

In this sense, Yachay Tech Ambassadors reached about 40 schools and more than 200 students in its first edition. The Ambassadors visited 14 cities across the country. For Alexander Escobar, president of the Student Association, the ambassadors program is essential for the continuous growth of the University.

At a closing ceremony of the program, the volunteers received participation certificates and listened to the speech given by Lizbeth Zamora and Alisson Illes, both program organizers, and Alexander Escobar. In addition, they resolved their doubts about the opening of the next edition of the program and the response to new invitations from the schools that benefit from the program.
