Why this matters now
From robotics to renewable energy, STEM is how the modern world is designed, built and improved. Our Singapore STEM Academy takes students into engineering labs, coding studios and applied-maths workshops at the heart of Asia's leading university.
Over one intensive week, students move from first principles to a working team project, finishing with a showcase demo and a real feel for studying science and engineering at the highest level.
A seven-day rhythm.
Each residential week follows a clear daily pattern — focused mornings of teaching, hands-on afternoons in the lab or studio, and evenings split between university masterclasses and cultural London.
- ✦Mornings — subject teaching & specialist modules
- ✦Afternoons — hands-on workshops & project labs
