The program offers a hands-on, immersive experience in forensic science with a mock trial component, providing a realistic glimpse into crime scene investigation and the legal process.
This pre-college program offers high school students a hands-on introduction to forensic science and crime scene investigation. Participants will gain practical experience in discovering, preserving, and analyzing various types of evidence, including fingerprints, fibers, bloodstain patterns, and DNA. The curriculum covers essential techniques and tools used by professional investigators, such as diagramming, sketching, and photography of crime scenes. Students will also learn to navigate the complexities of cases involving firearms evidence, arson, and explosives. A significant component of the program includes a mock trial experience where students present their findings, simulating the real-world application of forensic science in the legal field. The program aims to develop critical analytical and observational skills, preparing students for potential careers in forensic science, law enforcement, or related fields.
A typical weekday involves a morning course from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, followed by lunch, and an afternoon course from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, with free time and evening activities thereafter.
