Are you ready on a journey that will ignite their passion for science and innovation? If so, you won’t want to miss out on the London STEM Summer Course hosted by the London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF).

LIYSF has been a premier science event since 1959, bringing together 500 of the brightest young science students aged 16-21 from over 70 countries worldwide to connect, share ideas, and learn from world-class scientists. And now, we’re excited to invite you, students aged 16-21 years old, to join us for the 64th edition from July 26th to August 9th, 2023!

Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in a 15-day residential science event based at Imperial College London. They’ll have access to 10 world-renowned scientists – including Nobel Prize winner Professor Ben Feringa – who will deliver the main lecture demonstrations and a choice from 32 specialist lectures across subjects such as Artificial Intelligence, Nano-technology, Engineering, Robotics, Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, and Astrophysics.

But that’s not all – students will also have the chance to visit the UK’s best university laboratories in London, Oxford, Cambridge, and other scientific institutions (over 50 on offer), plus enjoy an active social programme to learn about different cultures and make new connections.

This year, we’re thrilled to announce that our list of high-profile speakers includes Nobel Prize winner Nanochemist Professor Ben Feringa, 2022 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturer – Professor Dame Sue Black, Renowned Chemist, inventor and Regius Chair of Chemistry, Professor Lee Cronin, Pioneering Astrophysicist, Professor Hiranya Peris, and 2020 RI Christmas Lecturer, Geoscientist, Professor Christopher Aiden-Lee Jackson.

Education Advisers Ltd would like to introduce you to Imperial College’s Global Design Space Challenge, 2023 Summer Course – the most exciting UK summer course and an absolute “must” for aspiring engineering undergraduates.

Please find a prospectus for the Global Space Design Challenge along with an electronic expression of interest form, which can be accessed here GSDC Expression of Interest Form – July 2023

This course is run at Imperial College, the UK’s leading science university and is ideal for the brightest UK and international students (age15-18), who aspire to study science or engineering at the world’s top universities.  It includes an intensive and professional programme of training by expert engineers and academics from Imperial, Oxford and industry-leading space companies. This is followed by an industrial design simulation which exposes students to the joys and challenges of working in a team culminating in an aerospace proposal competition. Students compete in teams to build the best community in outer space.

The course is perfect for students aiming for careers in space science, aeronautical engineering, robotics, or automation. They will experience an exciting, motivational, and competitive space design programme, learning and working with top academics from Imperial and Oxford.

The current UK buzz word in education is “Super-Curricular”. It’s now expected that a high ability student will go above and beyond the curriculum to demonstrate their love of subject and undertake independent study and research. The Global Space Design Challenge does all of that and more.

This 4 day / 5 night fully residential programme runs from 19th-24th July 2023. The cost for UK and EU students is £2195; and for Rest of the World students, the cost is £2695.

Greetings from the University of Chicago!

We are so excited to share a new summer program this year which would offer your students an opportunity to develop their math and science skills while familiarizing themselves with UChicago’s culture of inquiry and beautiful ivy-laden campus.

The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars Summer Program is designed to eliminate barriers to entry that have surrounded STEM fields and help usher in a new generation of changemakers into these fields. This program invites rising high school seniors to campus for a one-week immersive program taught by world-class UChicago faculty, and provides access to college counseling, state of the art facilities, and other resources. The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Scholars program offers talented students an environment of collaborative learning, mentorship, and STEM-focused advising.

Not only will this program offer students tremendous insight and knowledge into college-level STEM courses, but it will also provide a chance to acquaint themselves with our College, our campus, and our community. The opportunity to live in and engage with a major city is one that can be perspective-changing for many summer scholars at UChicago. Chicago is the “City of Big Shoulders”— a city skyline carved by architects of the past and the present. This city is home to some of the most accomplished engineers, scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and inventors of our time. Our university stands on the shoulders of giants, bolstered by the achievements of the Chicagoans and UChicago scholars who came before us, and your students may someday share in these achievements.

If you’re interested in learning more about this opportunity or recommending it to a student, you can visit here. For additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Program Director, Nicole Mullen at ncmullen@uchicago.edu.
