Earthquake detector

The earthquake detector works by sensing vibrations through the movement of a load (pendulum) attached to it, which completes an electrical circuit involving the components, the LED, and the buzzer. Each swing of the pendulum triggers both a sound and a light signal. Engaging in this STEM activity encourages interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. This kit aligns with STEM educational values, facilitating the development of a wide array of skills. Specifically, it enhances fine motor control, observational skills, coordination, problem-solving, creativity, and imagination. Collaborative work on this project also boosts social skills and communication, making it a perfect option for enriching family time in a fun and educational manner. STEAMit builders are invaluable in cultivating the next generation of innovators and critical thinkers.
