The Nipmuc Showcase will take place on Wednesday, January 31 from 6:30pm-8pm with the inclement weather date being Thursday, February 1.

Incoming students and their families will have the chance to connect with our students and teachers to ask questions, tour the facility, and experience first-hand what life and learning look like at Nipmuc.

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.
