🔎 How To Solve A Murder

A murder has taken place in Bishopbriggs, Scotland. Become a digital detective and see how you can use your digital skills to solve the crime.

Start the investigation by collecting, identifying and validating the digital evidence. Then, sift through what you’ve collected, join the dots, and see if you catch the criminal.

This digital skills activity gives learners the experience of working as a Digital Forensic Specialist.

No technical knowledge is needed, just a modern web browser.


What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

-

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

After MozFest we will make all the resources and tools from this activity available for others to use. We need more people who can help protect and defend a healthy internet. By encouraging people to run the same session in their own schools or community groups we hope to introduce more young people to the area in a fun and safe way.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

We are proposing this as an asynchronous activity so capacity is not an issue.
