Edinburgh College and Oracle

A very innovative project that is based on popular TV drama series such as CSI and NCSI. Edinburgh College and Oracle have developed a CSI Forensic Investigation course which involves computing, coding and digital media for secondary pupils aged 12 – 16.

The project aims to encourage pupils, particularly those not ordinarily or traditionally interested in computing science or STEM subjects, to participate in through the use of innovative digital content, based around a crime scene.

Offered to schools in Edinburgh and the Lothians, pupils engage in a variety of digital activities covering digital media production/editing skills, coding skills and computing skills during their first three sessions at Edinburgh College. On the fourth session pupils attend a crime scene investigation and using all the skills they have developed attempt to build a case against one of the suspects.
