CHILDREN can learn about the world of forensics these upcoming school holidays at Scitech.
The science education centre will give students an opportunity to learn how sketch artists get accurate drawings of suspects, chat with real-life forensic scientists who work in the field and discover the reality of computer, biology and wildlife forensics.
On the Forensic Stage, young science enthusiasts will love live story time as they help Detective Dog Nell and her keen sense of smell solve crimes with puppet detectives.
