Program Promotes Careers in Science to High School Students
“CSI: College Science Investigation – A Forensics Academy for High School Juniors and Seniors,” is a cooperative effort between Baldwin-Wallace College and Cleveland State University.  The program is designed to expose students from a variety of  backgrounds to potential careers in science and teaching science.

Thirty high school students will spend 10 days in residence at B-W and CSU from June 15-June 27. Working with law enforcement professionals, they will conduct an investigation and collect forensic evidence from a simulated crime or accident scene.  They will work in labs to learn more about the role of chemistry, physics, biology and geology in solving crimes and how these fields relate to the forensics field. In addition to law enforcement personnel, the students will work with B-W and CSU faculty members, licensed teachers and college students majoring in science education.  


Students Earn Dual Credit
 Following the summer program, students will return to B-W for four Saturday afternoon sessions...1p.m. - 5 p.m. on September 6, 13, 20 and 27... focusing their study in one of the sciences. After successfully completing the program, the students will receive high school and college science credit.    

“We want to excite young people about the sciences as potential careers and, hopefully, interest them in the teaching of science by modeling the dynamic nature of problem-based instruction and learning,” said Karen Kaye, chairperson of the Division of Education at B-W. “Through CSI we also have the opportunity to expose them to both an urban and suburban college setting, giving them a broader perspective about the strengths of each as they begin their college selection process.”

Baldwin-Wallace College and CSU are one of eight programs selected by the  Ohio Board of Regents for a summer STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Academy. There is no charge to student participants, but each must be nominated by a science teacher for participation. The 30 participants will receive the latest technology devices, supplies  and a stipend as part of the program.
