Students gain hands-on experience with foundational forensic techniques and apply scientific inquiry to solve evidence-based problems in a university-based learning environment.
The Middle School Forensics Experience is a hands-on, week-long STEM enrichment program designed to introduce middle school students to the scientific principles and investigative techniques used in forensic science. Students will apply concepts from biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science to solve evidence-based problems. The program includes interactive morning lessons and guided demonstrations to build foundational knowledge of forensic methods and scientific inquiry. Afternoon sessions focus on collaborative, hands-on investigations where participants analyze evidence, apply logical reasoning, and draw conclusions based on data. By the end of the week, students will apply scientific inquiry skills to real-world investigative challenges, gain hands-on experience with foundational forensic techniques, and strengthen problem-solving, teamwork, and analytical reasoning skills. The program encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork while exposing students to STEM pathways related to forensic science and criminal investigation.
A typical day involves morning sessions with forensic science concepts and demonstrations, followed by evidence techniques and guided labs. Afternoons are dedicated to team-based investigations and case work, concluding with reflection and discussion.
This program is ideal for middle school students (rising grades 6-8) with an interest in science, problem-solving, and investigative learning.
