The Hollister Elementary School Science Night.
The NEES@UCSB team brought the Quake Maker to the dozens of children and their parents of the Holister Elementary School in Goleta, California.
A student looks at his quake printout.
The students were excited to receive a printout with their name on. The printout is a trace created by jumping near an accelerometer. The trace plots the Z velocity for ten seconds. It includes a number, the sum of velocities over the ten seconds, which inspired some competition to see who could make the biggest quake.
Earth Science Department students presented minerals and their uses.
Undergraduate students from the Earth Science department presented minerals in their natural form, and many common products made from them.
