Glowing Clues: The Science of Forensics and Luminescence - SciTech Outing
with Lynn Diviak
Co-Organizer: Susan Foody
Step into the world of crime scene investigation and discover the hidden science that helps solve real-life mysteries! In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore how forensic scientists use glowing materials like UV light, glow powders, and chemiluminescence to detect fingerprints, analyze evidence, and uncover clues invisible to the naked eye. Try your hand at dusting and lifting glowing fingerprints, experiment with glow sticks, and uncover secret features with blacklight tools. It's science, it's mystery, and it's just plain fun-no lab coat required!
Outing - Class will be held at SciTech, 336 McKee St., Batavia
Registration Deadline: 3/25/2026

Storm Science: Tornadoes and Floods in Action - SciTech Outing
with Lynn Diviak
Co-Organizer: Susan Foody
Ready to get your hands wet (and maybe a little windy)? In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop, learners explore two of the most powerful weather forces on earth: tornadoes and floods. Build your own tornado model using simple materials and see what makes twisters spin. Then, put your engineering skills to the test by creating barriers to protect a miniature town from rising floodwaters. You'll walk away with a better understanding of storm science and how to protect yourself when nature gets extreme.
