CSI Summer School - Whitby Town Football Club

3‑Day CSI Forensics Summer School for Kids

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.

Wrap‑Around Care Available:

For families who need extra flexibility, optional wrap‑around care is available before and after the main sessions. Children can enjoy supervised activities, quiet time, games, and creative tasks — perfect for busy parents and carers.

Who is it for?:

Ideal for ages 7–16 (adjustable depending on your group), budding scientists, curious thinkers, and any child who loves mysteries, teamwork, and hands‑on fun.

What makes it special?:

This isn’t just a summer club — it’s a chance for children to step into the role of real forensic investigators, build confidence, and experience STEM learning in a way that feels exciting, empowering, and unforgettable.
