Someone has stolen the popsicles from Girlstart! Campers spent their week learning about how to analyze clues from the crime scene to eliminate suspects and reveal the identity of the Popsicle Thief.
Campers took a very close look at fingerprints, hair, and blood under microscopes. By examining each piece of evidence, the campers were able to eliminate some of their suspects. They narrowed down their suspects even further by analyzing footprints, DNA left behind at the crime scene, and used other clues to solve the case!
The Popsicle Thief also left behind a coded note at the crime scene that helped guide the campers to the thief! Using their cryptography skills, the girls were able to decode the message. They also used chemistry to analyze the ink used to write the note, getting them closer to solving this mystery.
Having identified the Popsicle Thief, all that was left was to find the stolen popsicles! The girls used all of the skills they had learned during the week to follow a series of clues that led them straight to the hidden popsicles. The next day, all the campers celebrated their hard work with a popsicle party!
On Friday, the girls showcased all of the projects they had made during the week to their friends and family. Thank you to everyone who visited to support girls in STEM!
