The programme was made up of;

A teachers professional development workshop held during April 2000 and 2001 at the Geelong Campus of Deakin University.

A Forensic Science Website.

A laboratory workshop based on forensic science for the high school students held during June 2000 and 2001.

A CD-ROM of forensic science teaching resources.

The aims of this programme are to; 

Present science in an enthusiastic and interesting format with reference to the ''real world", so as to encourage Victorian students to continue their science education into VCE and beyond.

Allow school students access to modern science laboratory facilities and scientific demonstrations nor available within the normal school system.

Give school students a chance to meet and talk with university staff and scholars who have made science their career.
