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

Join us for True Crime week (July 15th – 19th) at Gaithersburg 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.)

For teens ages 12 to 17 years.

Registration is required for this five-day workshop (July 15th – 19th). You will need to attend all five days to participate. Register here.
