Short summary
Marine geophysicists produce little earthquakes that travel through the ocean and back to our receptors to understand the characteristics of the Earth's interior. However, this field of research is largely unknown. To expose this technique, we constructed an atelier at the core of which is a model that simulates data collection at sea. To evaluate our activity, we conducted quizzes which suggest our approach is efficient in presenting new concepts and bringing them to classes.
