We would like to thank the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences for sponsoring the SIMULATING STARS SUMMER SCHOOL.

A special thanks goes to the two main organizers, Chunguang Zhang and Yaming Wang, and to Professor Stephen Justham, Professor Jifeng Liu and Professor Licai Deng for making this school possible!

A big thanks  to the lecturers and teaching assistants, that invested a lot of their time in  preparing and testing the labs.

We would also like to thank the directors of the MESA summer school in Santa Barbara, for sharing wisdom and material with our lecturers.
