Carry out laboratory activities and hear from forensic professionals to get a glimpse into the current field of forensics. Learn about major areas of forensics such as fingerprinting, blood spatter analysis, and forensic anthropology (examining bones to discover characteristics about a person).
Students will apply what they have learned from a laboratory setting to a simulated crime scene. Collect and analyze evidence during an investigation to try and solve the crime. This camp is designed for rising sophomores through graduating seniors. Freshman Biology is a pre-requisite for this camp.
