The Mind Museum Summer Programs (April - May 2014)

(For FAQs and full program details, email: summerprograms@themindmuseum.org)

C.S.I. 101 – is a comprehensive module on the learning adventures of basic forensic science. It consists of excellent workshops, for age groups 10-13 and 14-17 years old. The participants will be divided into teams that will gather and analyze evidence from crime scenes, as well as present their cases to a panel of Investigators. “Staged” crime scenes make this supremely exciting! Winning teams and participants that perform extraordinarily well will be awarded badges at the end of the program. 

There is also a Forensic Art workshop for the 18-25 age group which will introduce the participants to methods like composite sketching and forensic photography that are used to aid with solving cases.

SOCCER SCIENCE is both a full soccer game and a science workshop! A worldwide favourite, this sport will be understood through the lens of science. This program aims to help people see the many physics principles at play in a game and how knowledge of physics and science in general can help improve their performance. People who have no knowledge in football but are interested in science will also enjoy dissecting the forces that causes curve balls, the trajectories of long shots, and the anatomy of a skilled player. What is more is that they will work with a “secret” kind of ball with powers that we bet you have never known before! Understanding soccer can help you play better!

Program Schedule & Rates:
Ages 13 to 22 years old

• May 14-15  |  9am-5pm at The Mind Museum, 6pm-8pm at BGC Turf
