The New York Hall of Science is offering a great professional development
opportunity for middle and high school teachers. Crime Scene Information
Technology (CSIT) is an intensive training course where you learn how to
conduct forensic science mysteries and gather and analyze evidence with
technology. There are five mysteries modules: Biology, Chemistry, Earth
Science, Physics and Ecology.
One of the key benefits of this opportunity is that after you complete the
course and certify on the equipment, you will have the ability to bring the
portable forensic science laboratory into your classroom FREE for the next
school year and then for nominal rental charges years after. In other words,
you never have to purchase technology to use it for science, you can use the
Hall of Science portable laboratories year after year. The portable lab
contains a class set of laptop computers, probes and sensors, digital
microscopes and all of the related expendable materials. All of the
materials are packed in easy to move backpacks and rolling carts.
You will also receive a stipend ($100/day) for the course and the course is
approximately 15 days spread over the year.
*Deadline to apply is May 15th*. Schools must apply with a team of teachers
and one teacher must be a science teacher from the team. The application is
lengthy and requires your resume and support letters so please begin
completing your application in a timely fashion. All team members must be
available for the dates of the workshop as designated in the application.
