Hands-on activities, group projects, and guest speakers will help students understand how forensic labs work in solving crimes.
- Life Unlocked (Skills They Don’t Teach in School) - High school is tough—balancing school, activities, and social life while also preparing for the future. Life Unlocked is a hands-on, interactive camp designed to equip students with the essential skills they need to navigate high school and beyond with confidence. From landing a first job and managing money to staying organized, reducing stress, and communicating effectively, this course covers the real-world lessons that traditional classes don’t teach. Students will build a strong foundation in organization, time management, and professional communication, while also developing public speaking confidence and self-care strategies to handle stress. Through engaging activities, real-world scenarios, and interactive workshops, students will create a personal “Life Unlocked” portfolio, including a resume, organization system, and essential communication tools.
