Join as a Teacher Advocate

Four steps

How the program works

  1. Choose your tier

    Advocate is open to every approved teacher. Featured Ambassador is an application with limited spots and a free box.

  2. Get your code and link

    You receive a 5% teacher discount code, your own tracking link, and the marketing toolkit, all free.

  3. Share it where you already talk

    Parent emails, back-to-school night, classroom newsletters, STEM fairs, school websites, or a post if you want to.

  4. Earn on every referral

    Take 10% to 20% back on each referral order, as cash or as Classroom STEM Credit, depending on your tier.

Ambassador questions

When can I sign up?

Now. Advocates sign up with the Join form on this page and hear back within a few days. Featured Ambassador spots are limited: apply with the application form and we will let you know either way.

Can homeschool teachers apply?

Yes. Every teacher type is welcome: public, private, charter, cyber and online, homeschool, co-op, microschool, Montessori, faith-based, STEM club, STEM camp, learning pod, enrichment and after-school programs, librarians, and community youth organizations.

Do I need a large social media following?

No. Many ambassadors share with colleagues or with their local education community and nowhere else. A classroom newsletter, a back-to-school night, or a word to the teacher next door counts.

Do I need to post on social media?

Featured Teacher Ambassadors do. One social post tagging STEM Discovery Boxes is part of the Tier 2 commitment. Advocates are encouraged to post and are never required to. No tier asks you to show student faces.

How do I get paid?

You receive a unique referral link. When someone buys through it, you earn a commission on the final sale price. Advocates earn 10% cash or 15% Classroom STEM Credit. Featured Ambassadors earn 15% cash or 20% Classroom STEM Credit.

Is there a cost to join?

No. The program is free for selected educators. Neither tier has fees or minimums and there is nothing to buy. Featured Teacher Ambassadors also receive one free STEM Discovery Box.

How long does the role last?

Featured Teacher Ambassador status runs one school year and can be renewed each year. Advocate positions do not expire and your teacher discount code stays active. Commission eligibility is reviewed once a year.
