Tech Valley High School students participated in an arson investigation as part of our Forensics class. The final product was a collaboration between TVHS, Capital Region BOCES Criminal Justice, and the emergency services here on the NY Creates Campus.
Students were asked to take part in a mock arson investigation where they
- Created a story about arson
- Designed and built a model house that is related to their story
- Set fire to the structure so that it aligns with the story that you created
The students then investigated the burned structure of another team to see if they could recreate their story.
Collaboration between BOCES and Tech Valley High ignites a passion for science, criminal justice
