Programme Structure
The 8-day Imperial Online Summer School has two modules: the first is a 5-day
professional knowledge course; the second is a 3-day Space Design Competition. Students will develop creative thinking and skills such as time management and teamwork.
Each student will choose one of four topics and spend the first five days led by experts. While working in small teams with their tutors to have in-depth academic interactions, exchange ideas, and gain a profound experience of Imperial College London.
Students will simulate an enterprise in their topic as teams and solve problems related to the construction of the future Space Station, such as space engineering, space settlement, modelling the trajectory, supporting life in space, and a future city's financial system. The final design will be submitted and presented to a panel of judges.

Global Space Design Competition
Introduction
The Global Space Design Challenge is an intensive 3-day competition designed and delivered by top industry and university professionals such as Imperial College London, the only university in the UK to focus solely on science, engineering, medicine, and business. The GSDC is based on the UK Space Design Competition.
This exciting programme provides a realistic industry simulation and controls their own company with the help of mentors. Within 24 hours of receiving the RFP (Request of Proposal) for an existing space environment, students will form companies in small groups to create a virtual headquarters, working as a president, engineer, mathematician, biological scientists, medical expert, designer, machine learning engineer, financial engineer. They will conduct a series of studies on the International Space Station development, complete a PowerPoint presentation of their proposal, present it in English, expand their cognitive boundaries, and experience the valuable opportunity to work in a large team. Each company will have an experienced mentor in the field as the CEO to guide and advise students.
