Can you solve the mystery? Be a Forensic Scientist who is part of an investigative team examining the facts & evidence of the case with Discover STEAM Inc.!

Join us for True Crime week (August 5th – 9th) at Wheaton Library during this workshop just for teens! Each day we’ll learn a new scientific technique to solve the crime. Microscopy to study hair and cloth fibers; chemistry to examine soil samples; spectrophotometry to identify liquid compounds; and fingerprint analysis to place suspects at the scene. (FYI: There is no death, blood or brutality in this crime.)

This workshop is led by Discover STEAM Inc.

For teens ages 12 to 17 years.

Registration is required for this five-day workshop (August 5th – 9th). You will need to attend all five days to participate. Register here.
