Why attend a STEM Summer Camp?

The London International Youth Science Forum CIC (LIYSF CIC) offers a two-week STEM summer camp in the UK, held both online and in-person, at Imperial College London & The Royal Geographical Society. Each year, 500 students aged 16-21 years old from 70 countries enjoy our 15-day STEM summer camp, with lecture demonstrations from leading scientists, scientific visits to world-class laboratories and scientific universities, combined with international cultural interaction. Founded in 1959, the London International Youth Science Forum is a STEM summer camp in the UK, that aims to give a deeper insight into science and its applications for the benefit of humankind. LIYSF CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise.

STEM careers have seen an unprecedented rise in the 21st century, and it is fair to assume our dependence on science and technology will increase in the years to come. Enrol in our STEM Summer Camp in the UK and get the opportunity to develop core skills like – communication, real-world problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Science

Physics, chemistry, and biology are considered the core STEM subjects, which also incorporate technology, engineering, and mathematics into scientific studies. Science is important not only for the development of technology but also for everyday life. Today, Science is present in all aspects of life. Students are more in need of a good foundation in the fundamental principles, implications, and applications of science. As Albert Einstein said “The important thing is to never stop questioning”, and so is our motto. Our STEM summer camp in the UK specifically focuses on real-world, first-hand applications of science.

Technology

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to real-world problems, whether in industries or in our daily lives. It is not something new and has been present since ancient times. Technology solves problems using science, while science makes new discoveries using technology. Technology classes in STEM-based curriculum now include topics like computer programming, digital modeling, big data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and game development, to name a few. To fully grasp the technological aspect of a STEM, you also need analytical skills and assessments that help you make conclusions from your results.

Engineering

STEM is a multidisciplinary field of education, and engineering is the glue that holds it together. Learning the early hands-on applications of each field is important, as it provides the aspirants with practical applications. Our highly immersive, STEM summer camp focuses on engineering curriculum that covers a wide range of topics such as Electrical and Electronics, Computer Science, Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Information Technology, Robotics, Food Technology, and Aerospace Engineering. Engineers look for issues to address and then use scientific knowledge and mathematics to design, build, and maintain technology to solve them.

Mathematics

Nowadays numerous fields particularly Science, Technology, and Engineering, require a solid understanding of mathematics. Mathematics includes all of the core mathematical domains such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, geometry, and probability. Mathematics should be considered a language, especially in the field of STEM, as it is needed to engineer new technologies. It is a gateway to the career and opens vast opportunities for it. Our STEM summer camp gives the students a chance to experience more ways mathematics can be applied in solving real-world challenges creatively and innovatively.
