Running from 22 July to 30 August, our Summer Schools workshops give students the chance to expand their knowledge and learn outside the school curriculum in an interactive, engaging environment. With more than 100 sessions to choose from, there is sure to be something for everyone.
Laboratory science workshops are run by our team in the L’Oréal Young Scientist Centre at the Royal Institution, offering the chance to be a scientist for the day by experiencing a range of lab-based workshops. The mathematics, engineering and computer science workshops are devised by the Ri Masterclasses team and are led by experts from across industry and academia.
All workshops are run inside the Royal Institution building in central London where many famous scientists have made discoveries that still shape our lives today.
Workshops are designed with specific ages in mind to ensure all students can get the most out of them. Because of this, we cannot be flexible with ages so please make sure you book the correct workshops.
Funding may be available from the Potential Trust to support young people who would otherwise be unable to take part. For more information, please contact Anna Comino-James at [email protected]
