STEM Day today

STEM Day has finally arrived! We’ll be meeting in the PSB atrium at 9:30 to begin setup, so if you’re able to help out, that’d be greatly appreciated.

Our activities include:

  • Blood presumptive – using the Kastle-Meyer test to see if a sample might be blood
  • Fingerprinting – giving students the opportunity to determine the types of fingerprints they have through ink and dusting techniques
  • Mock crime scene – creating a mystery to solve by collecting evidences

We will let everyone know as soon as we have enough information.

Be safe!
