This summer in order to make a bit more money, I offered the CSI camp to Westminster students. This was the same camp I had offered up in Northbrook, Illinois when I worked at St. Norbert! It was very, very fun and a great chance for kids to learn to love science!
Everyday when the kids arrive, we find we have been delivered a big bag of evidence that goes along with a crime the police are trying to solve. The police always need help from scientists who analyze the crime scene evidence to uncover who the culprit really is! Everyday we solve a different crime using different scientific techniques such as chromatography.
The students have lots of fun, and the time goes by so quickly! This year I offered two weeks of camp (one in June and one in July). We were featured in the Commercial Appeal and Fox News even came and featured us on the evening news!!
