C.S.I club is learning about forging and examining a hand writing sample. They also watched a video about this subject. Mr. Marks said students are learning about crime scene investigation and seeing if they can match handwriting. Everybody was silent and paying attention imagining they were detectives. We asked the least likely person to be there if he liked this club and he said yes. All the kids were trying to match the name Jane Doe as best they could after writing their own. The class looked at fingerprints and for clues. They will try to get chief police man to be a guest speaker. Mr. Marks says nobody gets forging right the first time.
Digital Design

Digital Design is a technology exploration club. The students in this club play a variety of games on the computer using different websites. On these sites, they can use their minds to create and build their own designs that they visualize in their head. One game that establishes this is Minecraft. Minecraft is a very popular game that lets you construct numerous structures made out of “blocks”. The possibilities of what you build are almost endless. “Minecraft’s the best!” says a current member of Digital Design. “I mostly play Minecraft,” says another. Another game that is played in Digital Design is Fantastic Contraption. The objective of this game is to build “contraptions” to create different machines. This is another game that uses your own mind to form what you want. “We also use different computer programs such as Movie Maker,” a student says. Movie Maker is a video editing software where you can stitch videos together and add cool visual effects. There are so many things to do. You don’t have to be tech-savvy to join this club. It’s all about having fun and letting your ideas come to life.
