Forensic Science Summer Institute

Join one of our most popular summer programs! On the first day, participants arrive at a staged murder scene. Teams of investigators will gather physical evidence, such as fingerprints, fiber and hair samples, in their quest to discover the murderer. The teams solve the mystery by interviewing culprits, applying biology, chemistry, mathematics, and deductive reasoning. Faculty from Saint Mary's STEM programs will direct lab work as the teams build a scientific case to determine the culprit. This six-day residential program is designed for girls interested in exploring forensics, biology, and other science related fields.
