FOUND (Forensics at UIndy)

Students in FOUND work to stimulate interest and education in forensics in people of all ages through activities such as lectures and workshops. One such activity on “Vertebrate Bones & Teeth” during summer 2022 was at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis for opening day of Scooby-Doo Mansion Mayhem. At this event, students taught kids about animal skulls and teeth by organizing an interactive mystery skit. With the idea of learning about complex, scientific methods in a simple yet fun way, kids were set on a mission to identify which animal ate Scooby’s snacks by comparing bite marks in food to known facts about each animal’s favorite foods and the shapes and size of their actual teeth.
