Festive Fingerprints (Ages 12-16)
A sprinkle of cocoa. A world of fingerprints.
Service Description
Discover the fascinating world of fingerprints in this festive, hands-on forensic science workshop! Young investigators will explore what makes fingerprints unique, learn about different fingerprint patterns and discover the three types of fingermark evidence: visible, latent and plastic. Through practical activities, participants will examine their own fingerprints, experiment with cocoa powder to reveal hidden fingermarks and explore how three-dimensional impressions are formed. To finish, they'll put their fingerprints to creative use by designing their very own forensic-inspired Christmas creation to take home! A festive blend of science, discovery and creativity — perfect for curious young minds! No previous forensic knowledge or experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to get involved!
