Description
What happens when a clean energy facility is sabotaged, and how can science solve the crime?
In this immersive escape-room style investigation, students work in forensic teams to solve the sabotage of a clean energy facility. Examining the crime scene, they gather clues and evidence before applying real-world forensic techniques to crack the case. Students perform DNA testing, chemical analysis, and digital forensics, uncovering the culprit and motive behind the attack. Along the way, they explore how technology and forensic science intersect to protect modern infrastructure – and how clean energy systems can be both transformative and vulnerable.
This program connects STEM and environmental science, demonstrating the role of forensic science in sustainability, innovation, and crime-solving. It encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking while engaging students in urgent global issues through hands-on learning.
