Girl Scout Program: Tech Detective (Juniors and Cadettes)
About
Do you have what it takes to be a Tech Detective? Juniors and Cadettes will begin by practicing the art of forensic drawing by sketching a “suspect” as described by a “key witness.” Next, they learn about & practice codes and fingerprinting. Juniors will explore the role of DNA in forensics — what it is, what it does, and how it helps solve crimes. They then get to perform an experiment to extract real DNA, and finally use what they have learnt to identify someone from ancient DNA! This program covers all five steps required to earn the Juniors Detective badge or the Cadette Special Agent badge. Participants will receive the badge and a Tech fun patch at the end of the session.
