CLUB PHILLY FORENSICS  is a Saturday youth forensics and drug/violence program that will educate boys and girls in grades 5th through 12th about career opportunities in forensic science through hands-on forensic activities and discussions with forensic professionals.  Because forensics also plays a vital role in criminal investigations, students will also learn about drugs and violence.

Forensic science is a multidisciplinary subject that incorporates core science disciplines such as Biology, Chemistry,  Social Science, and more.  Students will improve their transferable skills such as problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and observational skills.

Workshops are designed to meet the following learning outcomes:

• Hands-on forensic science activities
• College preparation and enrichment program resources
• forensic science & STEM career/educational information
• Mentoring by forensic professionals
• Guest speakers from forensic science specialty areas
• Science-based workshops designed to develop student’s awareness of forensic science, applications, and techniques used by forensic science experts.
• Introduce and develop the skills, understanding, and knowledge of scientific processes and the importance of forensic experts in the criminal justice system.
• Enhance student skills to problem solve, organize, and pay attention to detail by distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant information.
• Learn how physical, social and life science play a role in criminal investigations.
• Apply critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Awareness of various careers in forensic science and education requirements.
