Abu Dhabi Science Festival volunteering

 Abu Dhabi Science Festival volunteer

I have volunteered at an annual Science Festival which is located in Abu Dhabi's Cornish. The volunteering period was from 14^th to 22^nd of November and my presenting session were from 1:30 PM to 6:30 every Friday and Saturday. My main job is to teach the children about Crime Scene Investigation, in order to find the murderer among four suspects.The major question was  who exactly is the murderer who killed the Professor Aysha inside the Crime Scene. Therefore, There are many types of evidence that could lead us to the real murder.So, I’ve divided the children into three groups (Physical group, Chemical group and Biological group). my job at the first week mostly about demonstration for physical group children, because its the most helpful way to find out the fingerprints of the murderer. In the last week my assistance have picked me to be the chef inspector. the Chef inspector mission is to explain about what happened to the children inside the Crime Scene, once they finish their work to find the right murderer I  ask them of the reason for their  choice of the suspect and where is the object that proved the real murderer. In my opinion the children were amazing and they were very smart and they answered most of my questions really fast, which really proved they were listening well. I actually improved my English speaking and I have learned a lot of things about Crime Scenes, all thanks to my assistance's Mr. Jon and Ms. Flora.


My Interview with Mr. Jon

Hi mr jon

Hi

Mr. Jon could you tell what do you think about the crime scene investigation?

It’s fantastic because it’s made out of six deferent small parts, the children habits and have different things to find out who the murderer is.

What’s the main goal of this activity?

We have two main points, the goal is to try to educate the children and get them interested and exited in science, so we have got all these tiny activities that they go around and learn about PH or learn about blood or something like that. But the other goal which is also important is getting university students such as yourself and make them confident so they can stand in front of loads of people and talk.

So we teach them how to cooperate with us about the crime scene investigation. What do you think about the children?

Oh the children are fantastic, they were tentative, they love to learn and especially when they have somebody good to learn from.

That’s nice. So it was nice to meet you Mr. Jon

See you next year.
