Many of us get preoccupied with taking care of others and forget to take care of ourselves. So, for Internet Self-Care Day, here are some simple to enhance your online and help you develop a plan.

🕵️‍♀️🔬 Think you have what it takes to crack the case?

What can a fingerprint reveal? How does DNA become evidence? What tiny clues might investigators find at a crime scene? And just because evidence is discovered… does that mean it can actually be used in court?

This fall, students ages 11–17 can step into the fascinating world of forensic science in our Homeschool Survey of Forensic Science workshop!

🔎 Sept. 4 – Dec. 11
🕐 1 pm – 4 pm
👩‍🔬 Ages 11–17

Students will explore the science behind crime investigations through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and age-appropriate discussions covering topics like:
🖐️ Fingerprints
🧬 DNA
🔬 Trace evidence
🕵️ Crime scene investigation
⚖️ Forensic evidence and the legal process
🧠 Critical thinking & investigative problem-solving
✨ Ethics and the importance of accuracy

This isn’t just about solving fictional crimes, it’s about discovering how real scientific methods are used to examine evidence, answer investigative questions, and support the legal process.

For teens: Come investigate, experiment, and see if you can think like a forensic scientist. 🔍

For parents: Give your student a hands-on introduction to science, critical thinking, evidence analysis, and ethical decision-making. 📚
