Imperial’s Summer School programme inspires the next generation

This summer Imperial staff and students are hosting a series of outreach sessions on campus for more than 1,400 school students. Led by the College's Outreach Office with support from their partner Exscitec, this year's Summer School programme is the largest yet for the College. The initiative aims to inspire students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) and discover what it's like to study the subjects at degree level. Starting in July and running until the end of August, the programme also gives school students the opportunity to experience university life. Isaac (age 15) from The Globe Academy in Southwark said: "This has given me a great insight into life at university. During the day I learnt about all the different fields of engineering, and it was great to get an experience of all the different engineering sections. It taught me how diverse the subjects are." The programme is available for students aged 9 - 18 from schools across London.
