Could the data solve the case? 🔍📊
During Data Week at our Summer Fellowship Bootcamp, students stepped into the role of forensic investigators to solve a fictional murder mystery—learning how to gather evidence, analyze patterns, and draw conclusions supported by data.
They:
🩸 Experimentally tested blood-spatter patterns using food coloring
🧪 Chemically identified mystery white powders
👣 Analyzed footprints and fingerprints
🎥 Examined phone records and CCTV footage
🗣️ Explored the science of interviewing witnesses
📝 Presented their final hypothesis of what happened, supporting each part of their claim with factual evidence
Every clue required careful observation, controlled testing, and evidence-based reasoning. Data analysis has never been this suspenseful—or this much fun!
