For schools
The seismo@school initiative provides access to teaching materials, earthquake data, useful resources for school-leaving projects and school projects, as well as ideas for experiments and activities in the classroom.
A dedicated online tool also allows users to analyse maps, seismograms and spectrograms from around 45 Raspberry Shake seismometers and use them for their own school projects. These seismometers form the seismo@school school network and are installed at schools across Switzerland.
