The Story

37 months ago

Earthquakes are a fascinating, powerful, and uncontrollable force that captures the attention and curiosity of many and the area in which we work and live is one of the most highly active seismic regions in the world producing some of the most powerful and violent earthquakes ever recorded.

With that being said, earthquake education should be a vital and essential component in schools. However, there are no such established programs in any Asian countries, let only one that joins the Asian countries together into an international educational seismic network. It is my proposal to answer this by utilizing a small, low-cost scientific-grade seismograph like the Raspberry Shake as a powerful educational tool and creating an Educational Seismic Network. School seismic learning programs allow students to become part of a global seismic monitoring effort and engage with real-time, tangible scientific data and contributing outcomes. It stimulates an excitement for learning science and their environment, giving students a way to more intuitively understanding of the world they live in. Students will get hands-on understanding of how earthquakes are recorded, increase monitoring capabilities in their area, and become earthquake awareness advocates in their communities.
