The NEESacademy: A strong foundation for education and outreach
Sean Brophy, Thalia Anagnos, Barbara Cooper, Jason Lambert and Jared West
Vision◦NEES will be the central resource for
learning of Earthquake Engineering, Science and the discoveries produced by the NEES community.
NEES Education, Outreach and Training
Education of undergraduate and graduate students
Outreach to K-12 learners, practitioners, and the general public
Training of researchers and staff involved in generating quality experiments and using NEEShub tools
Dissemination of NEES research findings and impacts
NEES EOT Program involves ...
Summer camps, visits to schools, open houses, workshops, and conferences only reach a fraction of the potential audience
Challenge: How to reach the broadest audience
Challenge: How to educate with powerful learning resources?
