About This Activity
Oh no—a burglary has taken place, and only the best detectives can solve the mystery! In this interactive STEM workshop, students step into the role of investigators, using science and problem-solving to crack the case. Working through three different forensic challenges, each activity brings them closer to uncovering clues, narrowing suspects, and ultimately catching the culprit. This workshop blends critical thinking with playful storytelling, making forensic science both exciting and accessible. The storyline can be kept random or tailored to your community for added fun. For example: Did the principal steal all the after-school snacks? Did the doorman’s dog eat the birthday cake (again)? Either way, students will love piecing together evidence to solve the mystery!
