Crime Scene Information Technology (CSIT)

由纽约科学馆（NYHOS）指导的犯罪现场信息技术（CSIT）项目旨在通过法医学和IT应用增强中学科学课程，并向来自服务不足社区的教育工作者和学生介绍法医学中的IT职业机会。 作为一个综合项目，该项目直接服务于60名教师和300名六至九年级的学生、600名指导顾问和200名学校工作人员，包括学校管理人员。 另有700名学生参加辅助活动，间接接触到5 780名学生。 NYHOS在为地区学校提供非正式科学学习项目方面有着成功的记录。 NYHOS旨在提高公众对科学和技术的理解，是纽约市唯一的动手科学和技术博物馆，拥有最大的动手科学展品收藏。 与NYHOS一起沿着，项目合作伙伴包括纽约市学校系统、美国法医科学院和公共教育协会（总部设在纽约市，不以营利为目的）。 旨在促进在法医学、跨学科调查（例如，地球科学、生命科学、数学、生物学、化学、物理学、计算机科学和地理学）利用图像处理、物理模拟、数据库分析和地图叠加。 项目组成部分包括专业发展研讨会，暑期强化，学生创新营，实地考察，课程模块开发，便携式实验室开发和CSIT研讨会。 由于该项目，将向学校提供以法医科学为基础的课程单元和五个便携式法医科学实验室，供其与现有的科学课程一起使用。 教师为法医科学课程模块和便携式实验室的开发做出贡献。 主要标题I指定，合作学校服务于大量服务不足和代表性不足的学生。 教师在资讯科技的概念、技能和应用方面接受深入的专业发展，以提高学生对资讯科技职业和教育途径的技能和认识。 接受120小时的接触，教师直接与学生在一个和两个星期的创新学生夏令营在博物馆测试模块和实验室调查。 职业体验部分包括实地考察法医实验室和其他IT相关网站，以及IT相关的嘉宾演讲人。一个由法医科学，非正式科学，信息技术和K-12专业知识组成的咨询委员会为该项目提供指导和方向。 该项目将制作法医学课程单元和移动的便携式法医学实验室，供广泛传播。

The Crime Scene Information Technology (CSIT) project directed by the New York Hall of Science (NYHOS) seeks to enhance middle school science curriculum with forensic science and IT applications and introduce educators and students from underserved communities to IT career opportunities in forensic science. As a comprehensive project, the project directly serves 60 teachers and 300 students in grades six through nine, 600 guidance counselors and 200 school personnel including school administrators. An additional 700 students participate in ancillary activities, while 5,780 students are reached indirectly. The NYHOS has a successful track record of providing informal science learning programs to area schools. Designed to improve public understanding of science and technology, the NYHOS is the only hands-on science and technology museum in New York City and possesses the largest collection of hands-on science exhibits. Along with the NYHOS, project partners include the NYC school system, the American Academy of Forensic Science, and the Public Education Association (NYC-based not for profit). Designed to facilitate the acquisition of IT content and skills within the context of forensic science, interdisciplinary investigations (e.g., earth science, life science, math, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science and geography) utilize image processing, physics simulation, database analyses and superimposition of maps. Project components include professional development workshops, summer intensives, student innovation camps, field trips, curriculum module development, portable lab development and a CSIT symposium. As a result of the project, forensic science-based curriculum modules and five portable forensic science labs will be available to schools for use with the existing science curricula. Teachers contribute to the development of the forensic science curriculum modules and portable labs. Predominantly Title I designated, partnering schools serve large populations of underserved and underrepresented students. Teachers receive intensive professional development in IT concepts, skills and applications to further the skills and awareness of IT career and educational paths for students. Receiving 120 contact hours, teachers work directly with students at one- and two-week Innovation student summer camps at the museum to test the module and lab investigations. The career exposure component includes field visits to forensic labs and other IT-related sites, as well as IT-related guest speakers.An advisory committee comprising expertise from forensic science, informal science, information technology and K-12 provides guidance and direction to the project. The project will produce forensic science curriculum modules and mobile portable forensic science labs for broad dissemination.
