Biotechnology Program to Host Free Summer Forensic Science Camp for Middle, High School and College Students
The Fullerton College Biotechnology Program is excited to offer two free summer forensic science camps starting in June for middle, high school, and college students.
The forensic science camp is designed to engage students in techniques used by forensic scientists. Students will learn to collect evidence from a mock crime scene and use various techniques to solve the crime. Activities include lifting fingerprints, performing microscopy, analyzing DNA, and more.
Fullerton College biology professor Dr. Kimberly Rosales decided to bring back the forensic science camps for young students to enjoy and see a future at Fullerton College. “Our program is excited to invite students from the community to join us for a fun, hands-on project and learn more about CSI and Forensic Science career pathways,” she said.
The first session, held June 12–15, will be exclusively for middle school students completing seventh or eighth grade. The second session, held June 19–22, will be for high school students completing tenth or eleventh grade and college students. Both sessions will be held from 9 a.m.–3 p.m., and attendance is mandatory for all days within a session. Middle and high students must complete an application form and submit a teacher/counselor recommendation form to participate in the forensic science camp.
Applications and teacher/counselor recommendations are due Sunday, April 30.
