Forensic science experience

2 hours · Ages 10 to 18 · Dates to come

  • Forensic science
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • People who know it first-hand

    Every session is run by someone glad to let teenagers into their world.

  • School subjects come alive

    Each experience connects to subjects they study at school, like physics or biology, so they see how things work in real life.

  • Built around teenagers

    Every session is designed for ages 10 to 18. They take part and ask their own questions.

  • You come too

    A parent, or another adult you choose, comes along at a reduced price. One adult can bring more than one teenager.

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.

  1. You work through real anonymised case material with a forensic specialist.

  2. You read fibre and blood-spatter evidence under the microscope.

Who runs this

A working forensic scientist or forensic science provider.
