    When you stumble upon the scene of a crime, can you figure out who the culprit is before they get away?

    About this Workshop

    Campus: Regis College | Rising Grades: 4,5

    The world’s greatest detectives all had to start somewhere. We know the origin stories of detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew; this is your opportunity to create your own origin story. Spend three weeks evolving into one of EXPLO’s greatest detectives by solving a series of cases and discovering how you would lead your own investigation. Study the crime scenes; as you reveal clues that have been left behind, you’ll have to analyze the evidence, using logic and critical thinking to uncover the full story. Can you help catch the suspects before it’s too late?
