Posted on February 4, 2020

Class: Forensic Science (CSI BVR)
Grade: 11th & 12 Grades
Teacher: Matthew Micari

Retired FBI agent Mike de la Peña talked to students in the Forensic Science elective. He presented his work as the polygraph examiner for the Boston office of the FBI, and his visit coincided with the students’ research on memory, alibis, and eyewitness testimony. This class uses a multidisciplinary approach that encourages analytical thinking and problem-solving. Along with lab work, students do research projects, look at the legal aspects of forensic science, take field trips, and solve mock crimes.
