In order to get kids excited about the sciences, the Caruth Institute for Engineering Education – part of Lyle School of Engineering at Southern Methodist University, TX – runs a summer camp program for kids with a healthy interest in solving crimes. With the collaboration of the military, local police officers, and schools across the country, kids solve a “crime” by working together, learning the tricks of the trade and getting a whole new insight into what they can do with science.
