They include "Evidence Collection from Crime Scenes," Latent Print Analysis with Magnetic Powder and 2D and 3D Footwear Analysis," "GMO Who Done It" where teachers will solve a case involving genetically modified food; and "One Bite out of Crime," where teachers will learn the techniques of forensic odontology and "Blood Splatter Analysis."
