Teens took the lead this week at ! Students got hands-on with forensic science, critical thinking, and real FBI operations — all while learning how to stay safe and lead with confidence.

Over two action-packed days, motivated high schoolers stepped inside the world of the FBI to understand how we protect our communities and why our mission matters. They learned about national security, cyber and violent crime investigations, and met experts from our critical response groups, including crisis negotiators, WMD specialists, SWAT, and the Evidence Response Team.

Led by FBI special agents, intelligence analysts, and professional staff, the Teen Academy strengthens leadership, sparks curiosity, and inspires the next generation of public servants right here in Minneapolis.
