Forensic & Investigative Science

Forensic science is crucial to maintaining justice, but it is also useful to use the methods of forensic science to solve any real life puzzles. This workshop emphasizes the methods of observing, gathering and analyzing physical evidence to solve mysteries.

While there are hundreds of methods currently used in forensic laboratories, advances in science and technology will change the ways we are able to interpret physical evidence. In this workshop we will examine fingerprints, hair analysis, code-breaking, and various other methods of examination. We will also focus on the human mind as a tool for logical thinking. This course will emphasize the use of computers and computational science as sources of useful information in forensic analysis. Structured hands-on activities and small group projects make this workshop more than just another classroom experience.
