“The nice thing here is that it’s hands-on, something for the kids to do.”

“They learn how to build stuff. They can appreciate how things are put together in a fun way. Once they see the earthquake platform, it gives them a better appreciation of what an earthquake can do,” Dennis Almeida, a parent whose two young sons were building structures, said.
“The nice thing here is that it’s hands-on, something for the kids to do,” Marriner Merrill, another parent, said.
Towards the end of the day the earthquake simulator stopped working. Parents still encouraged their children to build structures, however, and Dr. Lovell shook the platform with his hands. Overall it was a successful and popular activity, with children reaching for the Lego’s until we finally packed up.
