Program Overview
What is the LEGO® Education Ambassador Program?
The LEGO Education Ambassador Program is a volunteer ambassador program. It is a community of early learning through middle school educators who use the LEGO® Learning System in their classrooms to inspire future generations.
Ambassadors embody the mission of LEGO Education to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow by enabling every student to succeed. They share their hands-on LEGO® learning experiences with others and they want to be a part of a like-minded community to learn from one another.
