Ages 15-18 • London OR Live Online
This experience is almost fully-booked and we shall close registration in the next few days.
The Young Forensic Scientist Summer Experience gives students aged 15-18 a 360-degree, fully immersive experience of working as a forensic scientist in London.
Over the course of 15 days, students aged 15-18 will have some of the most prestigious experiences of forensic science that one can imagine: photographing, sketching, and capturing evidence at a simulated crime scene; performing fingerprint and blood spatter analysis; writing and delivering an expert testimony in court; and attending a private coaching session with forensic scientists at Bush House, the official venue for the International Forensic Symposium.
Also available on the Summer Experience are immersive visits to a drugs and explosives testing facility, a pioneering tech company revolutionising forensic science through cyber security and King’s College London (KCL).
Join us for a life-changing experience that will serve as an outstanding differentiator on your university application form and set you up for a future as a successful entrepreneur.
