CTE Students Step into Role of Forensic Scientists

Springs’ Public Safety and Medical pathway students stepped into the roles of forensic scientists by participating in a professional-grade DNA Electrophoresis lab, reported CTE teacher Bernard Hamill.

“By connecting classroom science to the San Diego Zoo’s real-world California Condor conservation efforts,” Bernard shared, “our students gained invaluable insight into the high-stakes world of forensics and wildlife preservation.” CTE teacher Jenny Younker also helped lead this effort.
