About
The CSI Forensic Science Crime Scene Program at Michigan State University is a one-week day camp or residential program. The curriculum is intended for academically able students who are currently in grades 7, 8 and 9 and at least 12 years old. All students will be working in a university setting with professionals who work in the field of Forensic Science.
Forensic Science is the application of science for the purposes of law. Students, through a variety of educational presentations and hands-on experiences, will learn how their acquired scientific knowledge can be applied to criminal investigation. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to apply their creativity and investigative skills working as a CSI with real crime scene equipment on several mock crime scenes.
