This program is a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) program where participants work in teams to solve real world problems under the guidance of local teachers and IMSA students. The knowledge that students will gain from this program will be more than just mere dates and facts that the students could learn in their classroom at school but will provide the student with the hands-on experience of tackling a problem that faces the world today.

What will kids do in Summer Sleuths?

Research: The students will study many different topics to help support their understanding of the problem. This includes the use of IMSA's Information Resource Center and vast Internet resources.

Experiment: The students will have the opportunity to perform amazing labs and experiments to see the problem from multiple perspectives.

Meet Experts: Every year, students and faculty alike have the privilege of listening and discussing the problem with guest speakers who are knowledgeable in different aspects of the topic.

Throughout Summer Sleuths, the Sleuths develop skills in multiple areas of learning with a focus on science. Sleuths participate in laboratory experiments to provide hands-on experience to enrich their understanding of the problem. Sleuths also interact with experts and other resources crucial to the problem they are studying.
