Chandler had their annual scitech festival for kids. Tons of booths set up with experiments, activities and demonstrations all involving science. Robots of all kinds, rockets and everything hands on for the kids to try.
Chandler police forensic department came and brought their truck. They showed the kids how they dust and lift fingerprints and collect evidence from crime scenes. This was my favorite part of the day, it was so interesting to learn about all the different techniques they use and how careful they have to be to not contaminate and collect evidence correctly.
They had a mock crime scene set up, the kids were given a scenario and had to choose the evidence that they thought pertained to the crime. Then take it to the lab for testing...
They then used the results to identify which of the suspects were responsible.
There was a ton to do and the kids had fun trying everything out....lots of science lovers at this house.
