Audience: Participants must be in grades 6 through 8
Time: 8:30 AM -2:30 PM daily
Location: Dana Mohler-Faria Science and Mathematics Center at Bridgewater State University
**If you have previously attended our Forensics Institute, you are not able to participate again.
As a new employee at the Forensics Institute of Bridgewater (FIB), you expect your intensive training on crime scene investigations to be exciting, but you never thought it would be THIS exciting. While training on the various crime lab biotechnology techniques, a live case is delivered and F.I.B. needs YOU to help determine what happened!
Have you ever watched Crime Scene Investigators and wondered what really happens to the evidence at a crime scene and how that evidence is used to solve the crime? Join us in a week-long adventure into the life of a crime scene analyst! Working with Senior Scientists, you will learn how to collect and analyze fingerprints from a simulated crime scene, perform blood type analysis and get closer to solving the mystery using DNA fingerprinting.
Additional information about discounts and fees can be found here on our website.

MUYSA Spring Registration
Spring registration for Travel (U10-U14, grades 3 and up) players for Spring 2024 is open and due by December 23rd, 2023. In-town registration is also open but is not due until much closer to the start of the Spring season.
Travel Program Notice:
As a reminder, we close the travel program much sooner than the in-town program. There is a lot more planning done within MUYSA and the league to get travel teams approved and schedules out on time. Ideally, we want as many players registered by 12/23/23. After that date, we will keep registration open until 1/6/24 but a late fee of $25 will be added to the registration. Once registration is closed, we will have a waitlist for each division but only if divisions need additional players. We will also monitor numbers in each division so we can do our best to balance roster numbers between teams. We are avoiding late adds once teams are created as it is additional work for our volunteers and the league in general.
Please go to www.muysa.org and login to register or make payments. If you think that you might have an account already, please use the "Forgot your Username" link at the Login screen to check any email addresses you might have opened an account with already. There have been many duplicate accounts created and a lot of confusion and duplicate registrations that can be avoided by finding existing accounts.
