Camps

Here's what a few students had to say about Crime Scene IT Innovation Camp at the Hall of Science...

“I like camp at the Hall of Science because it's fun to figure out the mysteries. Usually at my school I'm not allowed to touch the laptop and the probes but at the Hall of Science you are allowed to touch EVERYTHING. I had a really good time.”
—Nicholas, 7th grade

“This camp gave me the opportunity to learn about Forensic Science and have fun at the same time. They gave us the opportunity to work with high-tech equipment. Now i know how to use the equipment for future tests I can conduct later on.”
—Melissa, 7th grade

“The teachers were nice and explained everything well. I understood everything they said.”
— Shiva, 7th grade
