The maths summer school was an amazing experience that really challenged my thinking! The set theory and proofs session helped me understand mathematical logic in a way I hadn’t before. The visit to Bletchley Park was a real highlight – learning about the history of codebreaking and its mathematical foundations was inspiring. I now feel much more prepared for studying maths at university!

I loved how engaging and well-structured this summer school was. The introduction to higher-level maths was a great starting point, and I especially enjoyed the Bletchley Park trip – it was amazing to see how maths has been applied historically. The sessions were interactive, and I appreciated how we got to work on problems rather than just listening to lectures. This experience has made me even more excited to study maths further!
