What you'll learn
Earthquake Alert System is a practical electronics and robotics-oriented course designed to introduce learners to vibration sensing, accelerometers, microcontrollers, data monitoring and electronic warning systems.
The course teaches students how to develop a prototype system that can detect significant vibration or motion and activate visual and audible warnings. Learners work with sensors, Arduino or compatible microcontrollers, LEDs, buzzers and display modules to understand the complete process of sensing and alert generation.
The course also introduces sensor calibration, multi-level warning systems, data monitoring and IoT-based remote alert concepts, providing learners with practical exposure to smart disaster-monitoring technology.
Note: This is an educational prototype course. A student-built system should not be treated as a certified earthquake early-warning or life-safety system.
