Robotics Summer Schools
Course:
When: 01/01/1900
Where:I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you, the Exscitec team, mentors, teachers and anyone else I have missed out for the experience you gave my children on the Space Science and Robotics Summer School. My son was part of the residential group and my daughter was on last week's programme. They both commented that they enjoyed it very much and look forward to applying again next year! They will both be sending you personal thank yous very soon. Your team are so professional and organised everything so well, I am glad they both had the opportunity to attend and meet you and the other children. Keep up the good work!

Year 6 & 7 Robotics Summer School
This is just a quick note to say that my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Robotics Course last week. She seemed to get a huge amount from it, both from the academic side and the social side. My husband and I noticed at the plenary session how the topics covered bits of engineering, computing, physics and maths. These subjects are all well separated in her school timetable and she found it a delightful novelty to combine them in such practical applications as building the machines they made and parachuting eggs off the Queen’s Tower! From the comments she made during the week, and what we saw at the end, Alexandra also got more to grips with working in a team and ‘…. listening to what the others think.’ The adults (mentors, ‘helping teachers’ and programme managers) also came across as very supportive and their enthusiasm seemed to infect the children. ...Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the whole week was a great success as far as Alexandra was concerned. Many thanks. Now my son wants to know if he can do the course next year when he’s in Y6!

Student Associates Scheme
It was really enjoyable to be a Student Associate for three weeks at Lampton School. I found it a great learning experience and I am grateful to Exscitec for providing me with this invaluable opportunity of being a SA.

Clothworkers' Mathematics Bursary Celebration
Hello Alan, it was great pleasure meeting you at last night's event and I congratulate you on the wonderful work that you have helped to deliver for so many young people. However, in my opinion these students are not the only beneficiaries. Maths undergraduates from Imperial College told me how much their presentational skills had improved. My sole student in receipt of a bursary is a splendid example to others in an AS class, particularly when working in groups. The ripples continue....

US FIRST Project
Course: FIRST Robotics Competition
When: 30/09/2008
Where: Nationwide; (priced as indication of per student cost)I think FIRST in general gave us an amazing insight and I do believe that it has inspired me to pursue a degree in engineering. FIRST gave me a rewarding and fun insight into the world of applied mechatronics and robotics and it also taught me important values of working in a team in order to achieve a goal. I was fascinated by Engineering before participating in FIRST but it certainly cemented my choice to choose Mechanical Engineering as a degree.
