The program offers an immersive, week-long STEM enrichment experience applying scientific principles to solve simulated crime scenarios in a university environment.
The High School Forensics program at UNC Charlotte offers a week-long STEM enrichment experience where students delve into the scientific methods and investigative techniques of forensic science. Participants apply principles from biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science to analyze evidence and solve simulated crime scenarios. Mornings consist of interactive lectures and demonstrations covering core forensic science concepts, analytical strategies, and essential laboratory skills. Afternoons are dedicated to hands-on investigations and team-based problem-solving, allowing students to apply their learned knowledge to realistic forensic challenges. Through these activities, students enhance their scientific reasoning, observational acuity, and collaborative skills within a supportive university environment.
Participants will practice scientific data collection, analysis, and interpretation across various disciplines, gain practical experience with forensic techniques and laboratory procedures, and develop critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving abilities. The program also focuses on effective communication of scientific findings. This experience is ideal for high school students who enjoy applying science in investigative contexts and are considering future studies or careers in STEM fields.
