Forensic Science
In the Forensic Science half of camps we will explore the chemistry, biological sciences, and psychology used in the world of forensic science. We will do this through hands-on activities like fingerprinting, an introduction to DNA, blood spatter physics, and more. The students will also solve a case on the final day.
Computer Science
In the Computer Science half of camps we will solve technological challenges while learning computing fundamentals through problem-solving activities, computer animation, video game creation and programming basics.
