Starting from mid-June 2009, we will be organizing a Laboratory Enrichment Programme for upper secondary school students on Forensic Science Workshop.

The workshop will run from 15 Jun to 11 Sep 2009 and will culminate on 17 Sep 2009 with the Forensic Science Conference.

In the two and a half hour workshop, the participants will assume the role of a forensic scientist and solve the mysterious death of a person. By going through the interesting hands-on activities, participants will learn about diseases and drugs and how scientific methods are used to diagnose diseases and test for drugs.

All participants are invited to the conference which features distinguished speakers who will talk about Forensic Science, Crime Investigation, and Toxicology. There will also be interesting exhibits of crime scenes.

The workshop is conducted at Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Life Sciences and Chemical Technology. The laboratories are located at Block 80.

The workshops are run on every weekday (Mon to Fri) at 3.00 to 5.30 pm during the school holidays (15 Jun to 26 Jun) and (7 Sep to 11 Sep), and on Thursday and Friday during school term (29 Jun to 16 Aug) and (31 Aug to 4 Sep).

The cost of each workshop is $10.70 per student (including GST). Students will receive a letter of participation at the end of the workshop.

If your school is interested in sending students to the Forensic Science Workshop and/or the Forensic Science Conference, please complete and return the attached application forms to Ms. Vimala by fax (6467-9109) or mail or by e-mail (vig@np.edu.sg).
