CSI NegativeZero: The Case of Victor Steele

You’ll feel like real CSI agents after you successfully complete CSI Boot Camp. Imagine a series of activities in which you get to use the same fingerprint and blood test kits used by real CSI agents. (Don’t worry, we use synthetic blood.)

Test your knowledge about DNA…and can you identify the matching DNA profiles. Do you think that you can accurate describe a criminal’s appearance to a sketch artist? We’ll see!

The Case:
After getting sworn in as “official” CSI agents, you are presented with your first case…and it’s a big one! Chief Investigator William Badge arrived on the set of Negative Zero,
a television show

about a group of high school drop outs that spend their time people-watching from a park bench. Badge heads directly to Victor Steele’s trailer. Steele is, or make that was, the lead actor on Negative Zero.


The trailer is a mess with stuff strewn all over. Clearly something happened here. One item that stands out for Badge is a broken MTV award on the ground. Steele had won the award for Best Actor from a Comedy Series just three months earlier.

As a CSI team, you’ll have to uncover clues and make critical links between the evidence from the suspects. There will be three rounds of clues based on a variety of topics, including: DNA, ballistics, forensics, and interrogation. Three suspects have been identified. Your team will work together in groups of 5-6 CSI agents to identify the suspect and clearly specify the motive, means, and opportunity for the crime to be committed.

Critical thinking, planning and teamwork drive success in this thought-provoking, crime-solving mystery.

 

What Others Think of Our CSI NegativeZero Team Building Program:

The program was FANTASTIC!!!!! Merrick was able to interweave our lingo to maintain consistency, leverage activities that would generate the opportunity for discussion, and share insights/ideas from his experience that made it highly energized, fun, and a strong learning opportunity. The team had many ah ha moments and began to refer to the activity and/or learning over the course of our meeting. Upon completion of the meeting (and quite frankly throughout it) I got great feedback on Merrick, the team activities and the CSI NegativeZero program. It was a pleasure working with your organization. I would highly recommend you to anyone! Well…. maybe not to my competitors!!! I look forward to opportunities to work with you again in the future.
