Grab a pair of examination gloves, and get ready to explore one of the fastest growing and most exciting fields in science – Forensics Science. During this week students dive into forensics, learning through case studies, mock crime scenes, and hands-on lab work. Students will learn and explore traditional fingerprinting, blood splatter patterns, DNA fingerprinting, and many other techniques used in real crime investigation. The week will culminate with a mock crime scene investigation – a realistic mystery to solve! This program is offered in partnership with the Society for Science & The Public and the Caterpillar Foundation. The School of Chemistry and the Department of Biomedical Engineering also provide support. |

Astronaut Cadet Date: June 28-July 2 Program Fee: $285 Grade: Rising 6-7 Time: 9:00 - 3:00 Application Deadline: March 26 Application Closed |
 |
| The Astronaut Cadet program will use
space travel and astronaut training to excite and educate students
in the fields of math, science and technology. Students will learn
what it takes to have the “right stuff” and will develop teamwork,
self-confidence and communication as they strive to earn their
astronaut wings. Students will learn about Newton's Laws
through the construction of rocket racers, explore chemical
reactions as they create fizzy rockets, and learn to calculate
altitudes as they build and launch Estes Model rockets.
Students will also explore the Space Shuttle and International Space
Station, sample and evaluate space food, learn about living and
working in space, and discover new information about our future
efforts to explore the moon and Mars. |

Fast Track: The Science of Racing and NASCAR Date: June 28-July 2 Program Fee: $285 Grade: Rising 7th-9th Time: 9:00 - 3:00 Application Deadline: March 26 Application Closed |
 |
| Ever wanted to know why race cars can
go so fast? Ever wanted to design your own race car and try it out?
Ever wanted to be on the pit crew of a NASCR team? FastTrack is a
hands-on camp where participants work in teams with a radio control
model car to optimize performance and compete against other teams to
see who can go the fastest. Along the way you will work with 3D CAD
to optimize your design and test out your ideas on a real 1/10 scale
RC model car. |

Building the Future in Civil Engineering Date: July 12-16 Program Fee: $285 Grade: Rising 8-9 Time: 9:00 - 3:00 Application Deadline: March 26 Application Closed |
 |
| Do you remember the nursery rhyme line
“London Bridge is falling down”? In this program you will
learn how science and engineering combine to prevent such an
occurrence. You will learn firsthand that when many
forces interact with a structure, the design is the last defense
against failure. You will look at many designs and then
build your own structure and test just how well it holds up to the
stresses of travel. This program will include tours of
engineering labs on campus and use of Georgia Tech testing
equipment. This program is offered in partnership with the US
Department of Transportation, the Caterpillar Foundation, and
the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering. |

LEGO Mindstorm Date: July 19-23 Program Fee: $285 Grade: Rising 7-9 Time: 9:00 - 3:00 Application Deadline: March 26th Application Closed |
 |
| Explore the world of robotics by
designing and building a robot that solves real-life challenges.
Teams of students will explore and apply physical science and
mathematics concepts to program LEGO Mindstorm robots to clean up
parks, rescue pets from burning buildings and various other
scenarios. Student teams will showcase their robots at the end
of the week by running them through these scenarios. |
