Students gain hands-on experience processing simulated crime scenes and analyzing evidence with laboratory equipment, culminating in a team presentation to solve a mock crime.
Students at the Forensic Science Summer Camp will be immersed in crime scene investigation, gaining hands-on experience in the field of forensic science. They will learn how law enforcement teams conduct criminal investigations, from collecting evidence at a simulated crime scene to analyzing it in a laboratory using current instrumentation. The camp involves working in groups on a week-long crime scenario, where participants will process a mock crime scene, collect various types of evidence including DNA, fingerprints, hair, fibers, simulated blood spatter, and shoe prints, and then analyze this evidence. They will also learn to conduct interviews and formulate theories to solve the crime. The camp culminates in teams presenting their findings to a panel of judges, detailing their theories and conclusions. This experience helps students explore potential careers in forensic science, develop teamwork and critical thinking skills, and learn to observe and interpret details.
A typical day involves engaging in 12 forensic science labs and activities, viewing video footage of suspect interactions for clues, and working in teams to analyze evidence from a simulated crime scene.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who love solving mysteries and have an interest in law enforcement, science, and forensics.
