Engineering, Robotics and AI
The scientist discovers a new type of material or energy and the engineer discovers a new use for it.
Summer School provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the exciting career opportunities in engineering and technology. Students explore the fields of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical engineering as they survey emerging technical applications, from self-driving vehicles to space travel.
Courses introduce students to the rapidly evolving fields of software development, robotics and AI. Combining theoretical concepts with real-world applications, students will delve into core computer science principles, explore programming languages, and master the software development process. Aspiring engineers will also examine how these skills and knowledge are applied to programming robots and how AI integrates with this technology. Alongside practical experience, the programme includes critical discussions on the ethics and security of emerging technologies. With guidance from expert instructors, students will complete a individual project, deepening their skills and exploring their interests in this dynamic field. Students gain a practical foundation in the science of engineering through fun design simulations that provide a grounding in mathematics and physics. Learn to think like an engineer and strengthen your critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity skills.

- Summer Schools in the UK take advantage of the unparalleled facilities offered by boarding schools, there are no crowded huts and basic provisions here; boarding accommodation is by gender and age group with a mix of nationalities in each room and will often be in a breathtaking historic building.
- Younger students may share in a room with 4 to 6 students, older children will share with two in a room or a single bedroom. Bathrooms with showers are shared.
- The Boarding House has a dedicated house parent to oversee the running of the house and welfare of the students. Medical staff are on site.
- There are common rooms with games, TV and books, WiFi, small kitchen for preparation of snacks. But students find there is never a spare moment, with activities, sports, trips and incredible experiences with new friends to enjoy.
- Main meals are taken in the main dining room; fresh, healthy food with hot and cold options are offered. Packed lunches are provided for off-site activities; vegetarian, vegan and special dietary needs are catered for.
- Course fees range from £1,600 to £3,500 per week which will cover tuition, boarding accommodation, food, laundry, airport transfers, activities, excursions and evening entertainment.
- Programmes run for 2, 3, 4 or 6 weeks (a minimum of 2 weeks is recommended). Summer schools and take place during July and August and are aimed at 8 to 17 years.
