Forensic Science Summer Opportunity
 The Forensic Science Mentoring Institute (FMI) is a non-profit, 7-week, academic program that specializes in teaching the forensic sciences to local high school students. All students in the program will be paired with a mentor and will learn from actual forensic scientists using the same cutting-edge instrumentation deployed in real crime labs. Students learn the investigational and analytical techniques taught in college-level courses. Students are also taught public speaking as they present their research findings, take trips to local universities, enjoy a picnic day, perform in the program talent show, visit the nation's top private forensic lab (NMS Labs) and act as expert witnesses by presenting their case in a mock court setting in front of a judge with their friends and family watching. 
Attached is the brochure which provides additional information. We invite you to visit our website and attend one of our 2 Open Houses in April to get a more comprehensive overview of the program:   https://www.frfoundation.org/fmi-summer-sciences-program/
