Ready to uncover the truth with science?

In this thrilling 60 minutes CSI challenge, the students work in teams to solve the mystery of a missing scientist. The teams uncover the suspect's identity, motive, and the scientist's location using DNA analysis, chemical identification, and cryptic decoding.

Through interconnected tasks involving genetics, chemistry, biomedical clues, and data analysis, students apply critical thinking and teamwork to piece together the evidence. This intellectually stimulating and competitive activity combines hands-on experimentation with analytical reasoning, providing an engaging introduction to forensic science and problem-solving.
