STC Summer Science Camp

CSI: Crime Scene Investigators

The Case of the Calculating Copycat

A teacher at the prestigious Cottage School investigates a plot to cheat in her class, a situation that would damage the school's reputation. But, before she can discover the culprit, she mysteriously disappears. The young forensic scientists in this class must help solve this case. Their investigative team will develop vital evidence in a lab and present it to a jury of their peers. They will learn how to collect evidence, guard against contamination of their samples, map the crime scene, and document the chain of custody for evidence.

This camp is offered at Nazareth College the week of July 16-20th.
