Dusting for Latent Fingerprints

CSI at EAStudents participate in the two-week CSI crime investigators class run by Philadelphia police officer, Terry Lewis. Terry works for the Forensics Unit and will conduct a number of hands-on investigations with the students during the program. Mock crime scenes will be created and the students will have to solve the case by using intuition and the scientific method. They will also will be taking a field trip to the Philadelphia Forensic Building this week to hear presentations from actual Crime Scene Investigators and how they use science to solve mysteries. Here, the campers learn the art of dusting for latent fingerprints.
