Double-Oh Science

Fingerprints, invisible ink, hidden messages­­­­­­­­­­… Can you find all the clues to crack the code on our next top-secret mission? Double-Oh-Science is an investigative STEM camp where campers step into the role of junior agents and forensic scientists. Through hands-on experiments and interactive challenges, campers will explore how science is used to solve mysteries and analyze evidence.

Campers will investigate concepts from forensic science, chemistry, physics, and related STEM fields, learning how science can reveal hidden information. Activities focus on observation, critical thinking, and problem-solving as campers test theories, analyze clues, and work collaboratively to complete their mission!

Expect to See

Hands-on forensic and investigation-based activities, team-based challenges that build logical thinking and collaboration, and connections between scientific skills and real-world investigative careers!
