CSI Summer School - Whitby Town Football Club

Immersive, hands‑on crime‑scene science with optional wrap‑around care

Our 3‑Day CSI Summer School invites young investigators to dive into the thrilling world of forensic science through a series of immersive, hands‑on activities. Led by an experienced forensic educator, children will suit up, explore crime‑scene challenges, and learn real techniques used by professionals — all in a safe, supportive, and exciting environment.

Across three action‑packed days, children will:

- Dress in real crime‑scene suits and learn how investigators protect evidence
- Examine fingerprints, footprints, fibres, and clues using genuine forensic methods
- Work as a team to solve a mystery, collecting evidence and piecing together what happened
- Use microscopes, UV lights, powders, and forensic tools to uncover hidden details
- Build confidence, curiosity, and STEM skills through fun, structured challenges
- Create their own detective notebook to record findings and track the case
- Celebrate with a final case‑cracking session, presenting their conclusions like real CSI teams

This programme is designed to be fully inclusive, engaging children of all abilities with practical, sensory, and problem‑solving activities that make science feel like an adventure.
