We will deliver engineering learning experiences for elementary and middle school students in after-school clubs and will submit this high-quality curriculum for review and inclusion in the National 4-H Product Catalog. We will bring high school students into our laboratory to pilot a project-based workshop model transferrable across our equipment sites and will develop an earthquake engineering challenge for use at the National 4-H Engineering Challenge held annually at

Data and tools that were previously only accessed and implemented with extensive computational resources and test equipment are now available with only an Internet connection and a laptop. This allows for broader access to all of
