Keep little sleuths busy at special
CSI:MTSU camp Dec. 20-21
MURFREESBORO — If your little sleuths need to
search for something other than Santa's secret stash of presents, check out
CSI:MTSU's latest camp for kids.
MTSU's
Forensic Institute for Research and Education is sponsoring "The Great
Christmas Caper," a special mini-camp for science-minded fifth- through
eighth-graders, on Dec. 20 and 21.
The young
participants will use forensic science to solve a mini-mystery -- did Grandma
really get run over by one of Santa's antlered crew?
Hours for
the two-day camp are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is $125 includes lunch,
daily snacks and a T-shirt for each participant.
CSI:MTSU
camps are held each summer for high schoolers. The camps let students explore
career opportunities in forensic science, offer "real-life" support
for higher-level math and science courses and help develop skills in teamwork,
seeing and understanding details, critical thinking and making presentations.
In
addition to CSI:MTSU camps, the Forensic Institute for Research and Education,
established in 2006 by MTSU anthropology professor Dr. Hugh Berryman, offers
free public lectures featuring renowned forensic-science experts each semester.
FIRE also provides regular educational and training opportunities for law
enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, attorneys, social workers and other
groups in forensic science and homeland security.
