Technology Explorers
What would you prefer: hearing how important engineering and programming are, or getting stuck in and finding out for yourself? (We thought so).
Learning
Outline
Equip yourself with the skills you need to fast track your career in technology, in the most fun way possible. Join us on our Technology Explorers course and learn the basics of programming and electronics, design or modelling, and more. We’ll also discuss engineering and look at the many different ways we can solve obstacles.
Teaching methodology
Our teaching for 9-10-year-old students is focused on interactive and task-based learning. You will be taught by experienced primary teachers, who are there to inspire and engage you with the subjects they are passionate about. Our courses run over a week, and during this time you will develop your subject knowledge through multimedia presentations, group work, games, problem-solving, and project work with a meaningful real-life focus.
The experience
At Oxford Summer Courses, we believe in balancing hard work with exciting excursions. We know what trips will inspire students and keep their young minds active and entertained, so whether we’re trekking around Windsor Castle, exploring the epic Blenheim Palace, or marveling at the spectacular artifacts in London's best-kept museums, we’re always pushing the envelope of discovery and wonder.
This immersive learning experience will begin your child's educational journey towards success and help them gain the experience of British boarding school life. And of course, it's loads of fun.

Review
Auguste, Hong Kong
"When I did tech, it was actually really really fun, we had groups and we made remixes and websites and games, and it was really fun learning how to do everything."
