Step into the shoes of a real forensic scientist! In this exciting, hands-on course, students will investigate a mystery using the power of science. You will learn how forensic teams use scientific methods to locate, collect, and analyze clues left at a crime scene. Through experiments and observations, students will examine hair samples, analyze fingerprints and footprints, study handwriting, and even test mystery substances to uncover what they are. By the end, students will use all the evidence they’ve gathered to solve the case—just like real scientists do!

For 1st – 5th Grade Students
A New Adventure Every Weekend
MITY's program for elementary students enables inquisitive, high achieving 1st - 5th grade students to continue learning outside of the traditional classroom. Courses are intentionally designed to inspire inquiry, activate imaginations, and engage eager learners in hands on discovery that is not possible within a regular classroom setting. While students are in class, parents are invited to listen to professional speakers on topics related to raising bright children, socialize with other parents, or visit a local coffee shop.
