The virtual camps are run via Zoom. We invite tutors to teach students about real-world biological topics that are not necessarily in the school curriculum, and also hold debates which give students the opportunity to discuss biological ideas and form their own ideas on the topic.
Virtual Camp 2021
Date: 28-30 August 2021

We have hosted our inaugural international Virtual Camp. Student participants used their existing knowledge and knowledge given by us to apply
principles in novel research scenarios applicable to current news. Workshops were led online by tutors who will help guide teams of participants through real-life scientific conundrums in Biology. They were introduced to novel research including examples such as:
- the science of pandemics
and its vaccinations, - regenerative/stem cell
medicine, - organ transplantation
sciences - cancer biology and therapy
to name a few.
They were also taught and discussed the following with their peers:
- Methodological robustness
of impactful and influential scientific studies - Statistical analysis and
how to interpret data - Communicating and discussing
findings clearly and succinctly - Simplifying abstract
scientific concepts - Using effective language to
persuade audiences - Speaking and presentation
