Forensic Science Crime Scene Workshops
Crime Scene Workshop
If your child is motivated, risk-taking, and a crime-solving enthusiast, they are invited to participate in an evening of hands-on crime solving at its best. This workshop is designed to drive participants to exercise all they know and have seen, in crime solving. As part of a forensic task force, participants will get so into it they will be completely immersed in their roles. Underlying the workshop’s design is the conviction that most children have depths rarely explored by traditional methods of education. By the end of the Forensics 101 Crime Scene workshop, participants have a sense of pride in their accomplishment and confidence in their own deductive reasoning skills as well as a few new skill sets.
The Forensics 101 Crime Scene workshop is a problem-solving exercise based on forensic science. Participants form an elite forensic task force designated to solve an outbreak of crime. Participants use a variety of forensic science and investigative techniques to “work” a crime scene and narrow the suspect field. Once the investigators have a primary suspect in mind, they send out an arrest warrant, and a grand jury is summoned (parents) to decide if enough evidence has been presented to go to trial.
