Some of the Speakers you will listen to :

Seminar: How to get to Mars and back!

Have you ever considered what it would take to travel to Mars and get back? This talk will look at the engineering problems and solutions to some of the technological challenges that space agencies like NASA will need to overcome for astronauts to land successfully on Mars and return back safely again. In 2013, having previously worked on two NASA missions to Mars, Professor Pike worked with the BBC to design a mock mission to Mars. The basis of his researches will form the foundation of this talk.

About the speaker

Professor Pike works on the development of micro-instruments for space and terrestrial applications. He has previously worked on two NASA missions to Mars. He is Professor of Microengineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College. Previously he developed a technique for determining the strain in semiconductor hetero-structures at the nanometer scale at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. While at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, he used silicon micro-machining to produce instruments for planetary exploration including prototypes for a Mars lander.

After School Activities

There is so much going on in London and Cambridge and we don’t think you’ll be bored. After classes you’ll have a range of activities to enjoy too.
Here are a few examples of the kind of activities you might have the opportunity to enjoy this summer:
visiting London Eye, Madame Tussauds or the famous Houses of Parliament, film nights, punting down the river, visiting a West End Theatre, themed parties, sports including tennis, swimming, dancing and many more.

Free Time

We understand that students will want some free time to relax, attend to personal administration and contact their families. Some free time will be provided for rest and relaxation, however, we believe the most valuable experience to the student is a fully immersive, packed programme of activities and so students should expect to be engaged in team activities for the majority of time.

You will be accommodated in one of the College campuses. You will be allocated a room, usually sharing a twin room with another student of the same gender. Typically students will be accommodated on single-sex corridors or floors, with staff members and mentors always available on site. Living all together is a great way to make friends and sample the university lifestyle, as the welcoming environment allows you to develop a sense of community.

Breakfast and lunch is served and eaten in the College dining hall, which provides a bright and comfortable space for communal meals. Students will enjoy a varied and healthy diet: all meals are freshly prepared and special diets can be catered for with advance notice. A three-course dinner is provided daily either in the College dining hall, or in various restaurants as part of the social programme.

Safety and Security on Campus

Students will be overseen by our course leaders and residential staff to classes and activities, who ensure that students are looked after pastorally and socially during their summer school programme and are available to assist students at any time of the day or night.

All students will be issued with emergency contact details for staff members and will be given a full safety briefing on arrival.

LITE Regal Summer School offers a safe and secure environment that is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our friendly and professional team. We have a dedicated team of Managers, Teachers and College Mentors. The welfare of our students is our main priority at all times and our staff specialise in the pastoral care of older teenagers.

Management Team

Our Management team is headed by the College Principal, who takes responsibility for the daily running of the summer school, and supervises the Academic Programme. The Social & Welfare Manager takes charge of the summer school Social Programme and is supported by a team of College Mentors, who ensure everyone is happy, safe and having fun.

Working together, our Managers ensure that every aspect of the summer school runs smoothly, safely and offers every student the chance to participate fully.

College Mentors

Our Mentors are key members of staff who support and assist our students within the college accommodation and throughout the summer school social programme. Our team of College Mentors work with our Social & Welfare Manager in organising the summer school’s social events and excursions, as well as accompanying students into campuses and during day trips. They are approachable and caring, ensuring that all students get involved in the life of the summer school.
