New CSI Location - CSI: Suffolk
Okay, not really, but Suffolk, Virginia is yet another city that’s capitalizing on the popularity of the CSI series and using that popularity to increase and improve interest in education.
Those are just some of the clues that kids participating in the Suffolk Police Department’s first CSI - that is, Crime Scene Investigation - Camp used to solve the cases of a kidnapped girl, a burgled Dairy Queen and a car-jacking in a downtown parking lot.
Forty youngsters, between the ages of 10 and 13, have spent the past three days at the camp, a one-of-a-kind experience for youngsters in Hampton Roads.
It appears that this particular event could potentially be negating the “CSI effect” that’s been talked about with people believing the real world is like what we see on TV.
Solving crime isn’t as easy as the barrage of popular television shows - such as “CSI,” “CSI: New York,” “Crossing Jordan” and the like - leads one to believe, several kids said.
“I wanted to learn what CSI people really do,” said 10-year-old Jalen Williams. “The television show is fake. Only 20 percent of what happens on the show is true.”
These types of experiences have been very popular and happening on a regular basis. Have any of you had something similar in your area? Have your kids participated in anything like this? I’d love to hear about your experiences and what you thought about the impact of events like this in your area and for education as a whole.
