Explore the power of earthquakes working as an engineer, seismologist, and geologist. Will you be able to escape the quake?

As earthquake explorers, students will investigate why and where earthquakes occur, be challenged to engineer earthquake-proof buildings, and examine the treacherous island ‘Terra Felix’ for liveability.

In this program students will:

  • investigate the relationship between earthquakes, volcanic formation and tsunamis
  • investigate different fault types through virtual reality
  • work as earthquake engineers to gather and analyse data and communicate their findings
  • work as engineers in a retrofit challenge to survive a quake.
