Transition Year students participated in a fascinating and challenging Forensic Crime Investigation workshop, focusing on the mysterious assassination of John F. Kennedy. To solve the case, students developed their problem solving skills by gathering clues ,and analysing a variety of evidence, including ballistics, gunshot residue, photographic analysis, fingerprints, and autopsies. The hands-on investigation allowed students to evaluate forensic data, making it a highly engaging and educational experience.
Activities involved:
Hands-on science: Students examine evidence stations covering ballistics, gunshot residue (GSR), and autopsies.
Forensic techniques: Participants test for fingerprints and analyze photographic material.
Critical thinking: The session challenges the official single-gunman narrative and encourages students to evaluate historical data.
