The Next Generation Forensic Science Initiative will host a forensic science summer camp for high school (9th –12th grade) students June 17-21. The goal of this program is to bring the crime lab to the classroom. Through hands-on, experiential learning, participants will acquire the practical knowledge and skills that forensic scientists employ in their day to day casework. Topics to be covered include fingerprints, footwear impression evidence, trace evidence (new class), forensic biology, forensic DNA, forensic chemistry (new class) and crime scene investigation. At the conclusion of the week, participants will take their newly acquired knowledge and skills and apply them to a mock crime scene at the WVU Crime Scene Complex. For more information contact Chris Bily by email at Chris.Bily@mail.wvu.edu or by phone at 304.293.9496.
