Shake education in action
T3 Alliance
USA
The T3 Alliance program empowers students to utilize technology in projects that positively impact their communities. During the 2019-2020 earthquake swarm in Puerto Rico, highschool students built a shake alert system by installing a network of Raspberry Shakes around their local school and university.
CRISISLab
New Zealand
The CRISiSLab Challenge is a new technology competition concept which aims to motivate students to apply their interests in science and technology in disaster management. Students actively worked with Raspberry Shake sensors to create and demonstrate their own alerting systems and devices.
Seismology at School
Nepal
The ‘Seismology at school in Nepal’ project aims to raise earthquake awareness through educational seismology. The program has installed 30 Raspberry Shake seismographs in rural schools and has worked with them to provide tools and teachings on earthquake education and preparation.
Kristi Fink, Founder and Director of Texas Educational Seismic Project
“Texas Educational Seismic Project utilizes Raspberry Shakes in our “Cultivating Citizen Scientists” program because they offer a simple “plug-and-play” affordable seismograph with great flexibility for users. Affordability and flexibility expands opportunities for low income students in Texas – giving them research experiences investigating what is recorded on their classroom seismograph and promoting a valuable positive step in the direction of inquiry-based science education and college readiness. With one classroom Raspberry Shake seismograph, all students at a school may benefit from multiple, large monitors (computer screens) across a campus.“
Philippe Danré, PHD Candidate at Université Côte d’Azur
Great instrument !
“I use it to monitor earthquake activity on Mount Etna (Sicily, Italy). With students, we deployed a few of them in local schools (and we intend to install a few more this summer). The staff at Raspberry Shake is awesome, we received the devices quickly, the instruments are easy to understand and to use ! The installation is fast, the setup of the device as well. There is no issue with the Internet connection. Having the data online really helps sharing science with everyone! I would recommend this for citizen science projects!”
Shiba Subedi, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Earth Sciences of the University of Lausanne
“Raspberry Shakes have allowed us to create our own school seismic network in Nepal where we use them to educate high school students in earthquake awareness and preparedness. They are easy to install and use, low-cost solutions and we now have 30 Shakes in our School network helping to save lives. It is a scientific instrument for learning purposes in those 30 schools as grade 12 science students have to follow some seismology lectures in their official curriculum. Very useful for learning and also teaching in a school environment!”
Mark Vanstone, Secondary School Science Teacher
“Three years ago my school was given a Shake 4D by a local geothermal project. We live in a seismically quiet area, so we’ve detected only a few local events, but we’ve identified over 1100 tele-seismic events from across the globe. This has raised the profile of geoscience in the school, provided us with data for earthquake location, enabled us to create seismic sections, given us a link to events we can identify from the USGS earthquake catalogue and driven the discussion of earth hazards in the news. We have received a superb introduction to the field of seismology, experienced a wealth of opportunities which we are not even close to exhausting and become part of an international community of seismologists who have, in turn, enriched the experience of our students.”

Adam Low, Director of Upward Bound at T3 Program Lead at University of Alaska Fairbanks and a former highschool science teacher and geologist.
“The Raspberry Shake seismograph is an excellent tool for a citizen science classroom and I appreciate that students can see a seismic event in real time! Also, it is very exciting that students can use a seismometer in combination with another raspberry pi as a trigger for programmable actions like creating alerts, sending emails, tweets, or playing a song.”
