Note: This is a 1-week, full day camp, running from June 30 through July 4

Gain Knowledge from Experts in the Fields of Bioengineering and Forensic Science
Each session is taught by professors from the Hofstra University Department of Engineering.

Does your child have a future as a bioengineer or crime scene investigator? At Bioengineering - Forensic Science Camp, kids can explore their career dream. They will gain a fascinating glimpse into how bioengineers are tackling various diseases and how forensic scientists obtain vital information used in crime scene investigations. During this summer camp, participants participate in a hands-on environment in a state-of-the-art University laboratory. They will learn fundamentals of bioengineering and crime scene investigation, including:

• Stem cells and tissue engineering
• Heart dissection and cardiac mechanics
• Vertebrate histology
• Blood typing, hair and fiber analysis
• Fingerprinting
• Blood splatter analysis
• Paper chromatography ink analysis
• Crash scene investigation

Investigate a Future Career Path Bioengineering & Forensic Science Camp gives boys and girls a valuable introduction into a future career in science, medicine or criminal justice. Camp participants gain hands-on experience in bioengineering which will develop abilities to apply the scientific method and analyze data in a biomedical context. They will also receive an introduction to fundamentals of forensic science in a crime scene-oriented format.

Short lectures will present a basic overview followed by hands-on laboratory work which includes the use of the Bioengineering and Forensic laboratories on the Hofstra campus. Campers will learn how to use a range of scientific tools and techniques.
