Forensic Science Workshop
TY students took part in a forensic science interactive workshop which investigated all the evidence around the shooting of JFK and the subsequent arrest of Oswald. They were presented with many small activities which they had to conduct themselves including taking fingerprints, testing for gunshot residue etc.
The students were captivated by the experience and developed their critical thinking skills and team work skills. This workshop highlighted the dangers of conspiracy theories which are becoming more prevalent in today’s world.
From the examination of evidence they could conclude that there had been a miscarriage of justice and that the wrong person was blamed for the assassination.
Scientific evidence doesn’t lie.
