Workshops
What our workshops are about and what you can expect from them:
Learn about the state-of-the-art techniques used by modern law enforcement to match criminals to crimes through evidence found at the scene. Join our team of experts who will guide you through exhibits and lab activities to show you the real science behind CSI, and take you step-by-step through the collection, examination, and analysis of forensic evidence. These highly interactive workshops will place the investigator’s tools in your hands and teach you the tricks to solve the crime. With a wide range of topics to discover, you’ll keep coming back for more.
The three available workshops:
-
Impressions Workshop
Apartment 13, the museum’s own crime scene exhibit, is the scene of a murder. The victim is found dead on the floor. Crime investigators and forensic experts must collect evidence and identify the killer out of three potential suspects. In this workshop you will learn how to collect, process, and match shoeprint evidence. You will also learn how to find, process, lift and examine fingerprint evidence. This is a hands-on workshop that is informative from beginning to end.

Blood & DNA Workshop:
The murder in apartment 13, the museum’s own crime scene exhibit, remains unsolved. Three suspects have been captured, but the three suspects have three very different stories. Each describes a different event and a different murder weapon. In this workshop you will learn how blood spatter evidence and luminol can help identify the weapon used to commit a crime and how DNA can place a suspect at the scene of the murder. This is an interactive workshop where you see the evidence and help recreate it to solve the crime.

Catch Me if You can-Frauds & Forgeries Workshop:
- Running low on cash, a check fraudster turns bank robber. Forensic questioned document examiners must identify the check as a fraud, recover an obliterated robbery note, and match the note to a pad of paper left behind. Once the bank robber is captured law enforcement has to ensure his identification isn’t counterfeit. In this workshop you will learn how examiners spot altered documents and recover destroyed writing and using spectral comparisons, uncover hidden writing using lighting techniques, and use security features to uncover false identification.
