Explore Technology. Discover Your Way of Thinking.
Technology shapes how we see, create, and connect with the world — and our Technology Scholars programme invites curious minds aged 12–14 to explore it in a new light. At Oxford Summer Courses, you won’t just learn how technology works; you’ll discover how it inspires ideas, challenges perspectives, and sparks imagination. Through engaging projects and lively discussions, students explore how innovation happens — not by following instructions, but by asking questions. Each lesson encourages creative thinking, collaboration, and curiosity, helping students uncover how their own unique way of thinking can shape what comes next.
A Subject of Endless Possibilities
Technology isn’t just about code or machines — it’s about ideas. From robotics and digital design to the ethics of artificial intelligence, every topic opens a new door of discovery. Students explore how technology connects to the world around them and how it can be used to solve problems that matter. This course invites exploration rather than direction. Students are encouraged to experiment, imagine, and reflect — developing a relationship with learning that’s as creative as it is analytical. It’s not about following a path that already exists; it’s about mapping your own.
Learning That Adapts to You
Our 12–14 courses are built on interactive and task-based learning. Each day blends creativity with structure through multimedia presentations, group projects, and problem-solving challenges that make complex ideas come alive. Experienced teachers inspire curiosity by showing students how to connect what they learn with the real world. Small class sizes ensure that everyone has a voice. Students work independently and collaboratively, gaining confidence through practical projects that encourage teamwork, discussion, and critical thinking. By the end of the week, they’ll have deepened their subject knowledge while developing independence and curiosity — key to how we teach at Oxford Summer Courses.
Inspired by Oxford and Cambridge Traditions
Our teaching takes inspiration from the Oxford and Cambridge tutorial style — where curiosity leads the way. Students learn through dialogue, discovery, and reflection, guided by tutors who adapt content to their interests and questions. This approach nurtures independent thought and intellectual confidence. It’s not about memorising information; it’s about exploring how ideas connect and evolve. In every lesson, students are supported to think for themselves, ask thoughtful questions, and share perspectives that enrich the group.
Growth That Goes Beyond the Classroom
The learning that happens here doesn’t stop when class ends. It continues through shared conversations, creative challenges, and new friendships. Every discussion, every breakthrough, and every collaboration helps students see how learning connects to the world around them. Students leave not only with stronger academic foundations but with curiosity that endures — the kind that fuels invention, empathy, and confidence. They don’t just study technology; they learn how to think for themselves, explore ideas freely, and find their own direction.
