Sport, enterprise and design

The Oxbridge Summer School (a collaboration between Oxbridge Tutorial College and Insight Education) is packed with exciting and dynamic masterclasses and insights into how to succeed at the top UK universities, but it will also feature some fun activities that students can choose in their lunchtimes.

Young Enterprise will get students to think up ideas for an enterprise to help address issues in their local Nigerian community or fundraise to help the less privileged sections of society and facilitate social improvement. The aim is to encourage students to be socially aware, responsible and caring individuals.  Participation in this activity will culminate in students pitching their idea to a Dragons Den style panel of judges who will select the winning idea.

Sports Academy will run a series of sports competitions throughout the week. Mixed teams will compete in games such as tennis, volleyball, and others. A heathy balance between academic studies and exercise and learning how to cope in a competitive world are also important characteristics and experiences that will be fostered.

3d Graphic Design. This will be a chance for students to show off their creative skills to design something interesting which is also useful. At the end of the week, a panel of judges will announce the best idea. Thinking creatively and in three dimensions is a great way of nurturing creative talent.
