Interactive chemistry summer school by Imperial College London graduates 2024

Poletna šola je namenjena predvsem dijakom višjih letnikov, vabimo pa tudi študente. Dobro poznavanje srednješolske matematike, fizike in kemije je zaželeno. Laboratorijski eksperimenti in predavanja bodo večinoma potekali v angleščini, zato je zaželeno znanje angleškega jezika.

Če te zanima, hitro preberi navodila za prijavo in izpolni prijavnico, med opombe pa obvezno napiši svoje predznanje, dosežke, zanimanja, dodatna izobraževanja in znanja ter če imaš svoj prenosni računalnik ali tablico.

Program

The emphasis of the summer school is on hands-on experience, delivered through five comprehensive labs, each focusing on a different branch of chemistry. The ”Computational” lab is an introduction to molecular simulation and presents molecular dynamics simulation, lays down its foundations and discusses its role in the context of drug discovery. ”Chemical kitchen” lab is a novel concept in teaching that was recently introduced at Imperial College London and numerous other universities. It aims to teach relevant practical skills that are needed in a laboratory setting using harmless ingredients we all known from our daily lives. ”Chemical Kinetics” lab focuses on studying a chemical reaction using conductivity to decipher the reaction mechanism and strongly emphasises data analysis. ”Build your own spectrometer” is a lab focusing on the construction of a simple spectrometer that is used to validate the Beer-Lambert law and discuss its shortcomings. Arguably the most conventional lab is the ”Synthesis lab”, wherein a number of compounds are synthesized, and the underlying chemistry discussed. Each lab includes an introductory theoretical background lecture to equip the students with the required knowledge needed for successfully completing the lab. In addition to the labs, this summer school includes so-called ”Keynote lectures”, whose purpose is to introduce an interesting topic, discuss best practices, etc. Speakers are from academia and industry.

Kje in kdaj?

Od 14. do 20. julija 2024 v Trenti. Spali bomo v apartmajih Na Logu v Trenti zraven Informacijskega središča TNP Dom Trenta, ki je v lasti TNP.

Za prevoz udeležencev do Trente in po zaključku poletne šole poskrbite sami!

Idejni vodja je Domen Pregeljc, ki je študiral Kemijo z molekularno fiziko na Imperialnem kolidžu v Londonu.

Ekipo mentorjev bosta dopolnjevala Daniel Dalland in Andrei Bulata, ki sta prav tako študirala na Imperialu.

Z dodatnimi predavanji bodo program dopolnjevali svetovno znani vodilni profesorji in znanstveniki.

O namenu poletne šole mentorji povejo:

“Our aim is to provide a quality one week learning experience to Slovenian students. Since we have studied at Imperial, we aspire to provide an insight into teaching at this world-class institution. We have constructed a curriculum based on our experience that we believe is both interesting and useful. We hope to invoke appreciation of the advances that have been made in science so far and encourage participants to contribute in their own way.”

Zaščitno haljo, zaščitna očala ter zaprte čevlje za delo v laboratoriju (japanke in sandali niso primerna obutev), pisala, beležko, zaželen je tudi prenosni računalnik.

Posteljnino, osebne stvari za vsak dan, brisačo, copate za v apartmaje, zdravstveno izkaznico, osebno izkaznico ali potni list.

Obutev za krajši pohod po Trenti (planinski oziroma pohodni čevlji ali visoki telovadni copati), anorak, pulover za hladno vreme, dežnik, pokrivalo, manjši nahrbtnik in plastenko za vodo.

Dobrodošli so tudi glasbeni inštrument ali športni rekviziti po želji.
