A father-and-son project

Learning how to start, build, test, and improve.

Earthquake Guardian began when a seven-year-old child wondered whether he could build a machine that warns people before strong earthquake shaking arrives. This site will document the learning journey that follows.

Bootstrap phase: this project currently contains organization and documentation only. No detector, firmware, warning algorithm, or experiment has been completed.

Child owns the project

Questions, drawings, predictions, choices, observations, and reflections remain at the center.

Parent guides

The father creates a safe environment, asks open questions, and reflects on how he supports independence.

AI supports

AI helps organize, explain when asked, and preserve the record without replacing the people doing the learning.
