Dive into the world of STEM!

Building an optical heart rate monitor? Discovering aquatic ecosystems in streams? How about creating an earthquake-resistant structure? Or following in the footsteps of astronauts by recreating the first walk on the moon?

During this study week, you will explore a host of exciting uses for the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, math).

In the various modules, you will actively contribute to solving problems, as well as collecting samples and working on specific applications such as robotics, medical technology or the development of new materials.

The pre-university week takes place on the EPFL Campus, which allows you to experience how it is like to live and study at a cosmopolite university.
