CSI Rocks! (for Grades 10-12)

This summer camp introduces students to the principles and techniques of crime scene investigation (CSI).  CSI is a multidisciplinary field that combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with critical thinking and problem-solving skills.  Students will learn the fundamentals of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting evidence from crime scenes, while gaining practical knowledge in forensic science, evidence collection, and crime scene reconstruction.  This course will include both theoretical knowledge and hands-on exercises.  Students will gather in groups, learning together as they “work” assigned mock crime scenes.

Topics include:

• Forensic Science
• Crime Scene Processing
• Fingerprinting
• Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
• DNA Basics
• Digital Forensics
• Mock Crime Scene Investigation
• Forensic Entomolgy
• Courtroom Simulation
