On the 7th of February, TY’s got a chance to take part in the CSI experience. Speakers Kieran O’Brien and Jim Gallagher both have great experience in crime scene investigation and have worked on a number of high profile cases.
Over the course of the day, we learnt about different types of fingerprints, as well as how to use them to solve crimes. Students were able to use powdered magnetic filings to uncover prints and we could even record our own fingerprints.
As well as this, we learnt about all the different jobs you would find at a crime scene and we even got to investigate our own practical crime scene set. Not only was it educational, but also an enjoyable and memorable experience for the whole class.
