  1. The NEESacademy: A strong foundation for education and outreach Sean Brophy, ThaliaAnagnos, Barbara Cooper, Jason Lambert and Jared West

  2. NEES Education, Outreach and Training • Vision • NEES will be the central resource for learning of Earthquake Engineering, Science and the discoveries produced by the NEES community.

  3. NEES EOT Program involves ... • 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 findingsand impacts

  4. 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

  5. Challenge: How to educate with powerful learning resources? 100+ High quality videos 4 education tools hosted in the hub News & Highlights ~25 recorded presentations We have a HUB for the that… Video YouTube channel Webinar and video lectures Telepresence Video Data and Visualization tools Online simulation…

  6. Use NEEShub tools to support educational and outreach needs Simulation Multimedia Learning objects Series Project warehouse Collaboration tools
