.The Faculty of Science once again held a national-level competition for high school students called Science Fest. This activity was carried out in three main sub-events, namely: the Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) competition, a Talkshow, and a Class Simulation with the theme “CLUE (Code, Logic, Uncover, Escape)”. This activity was carried out in collaboration with three Study Program Student Associations: Mathematics, Physics, and Informatics, with the committee chaired by Stevan Axel Christophorus from the Informatics Study Program. This activity took place on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at the Ciumbuleuit campus, Parahyangan Catholic University. This time, Science Fest participants came from various high school students throughout Indonesia, with a total of 129 participants divided into 43 teams.
The concept of CSI itself is a competition to solve a fictional crime case from existing evidence using applied science. In this competition, participants are given the opportunity to solve the given questions, then conduct an investigation using the materials and equipment that have been provided to obtain evidence from each crime scene, which is divided into five different stations. Later, from the results of the investigation, participants will obtain evidence of the case. Participants then present the results of the investigation by explaining the various evidence they have obtained from each crime scene and solving the case.

Then, from the results of the investigation, participants will obtain evidence for the case. Participants then present the results of their investigations by explaining the various pieces of evidence they have obtained from each crime scene and solving the case.
Based on the assessment results, first place was won by a team from SMAK BPK PENABUR Singgasana, consisting of Wong Bryant Alden, Nathan Mario Arif, and Jeremias Shalomoses Simangunsong. Second place went to a team from Narada School, and third place went to SMAK 3 PENABUR Jakarta. Congratulations to the winners.
Hopefully, this activity will increase high school students’ interest in science and help them better understand its importance in solving real-world problems.
