Join us for an exciting, weeklong STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) adventure in partnership with CU Boulder's Science Discovery program. Students will dive into hands-on workshops that spark creativity and innovation through forensic science. The program will be conducted by CU Boulder Science Discovery staff.

To solve a case, detectives and forensic scientists work together to identify relevant data, analyze evidence, and draw sound conclusions. For the week, you’ll step into the role of a forensic scientist and put your skills to the test to solve a mock case. We’ll make detailed observations to sketch a crime scene and review our persons of interest. Then, using biology, chemistry, and physics, we’ll analyze evidence such as fingerprints, hair, blood, and DNA, and even perform a mock autopsy. By the end of the week, it will be up to your team to determine the cause, mechanism, and manner of death.
