About this experience
The actual work behind every detective drama.
Crime stories are everywhere. This takes your teen behind the story and into the biology and chemistry real forensic work depends on.
An eye for the details real forensic work rests on, and a sense of how a single fibre, smear or print can change the whole story.
What you will do
Evidence, microscopes, puzzles, biology and how tiny details change a story.
You work through real anonymised case material with a forensic specialist.
You read fibre and blood-spatter evidence under the microscope.
Who runs this
A working forensic scientist or forensic science provider.
