PEPP建议在学校安装简单的地震仪， 大学，建立一个计算机网络来共享数据， 信息，并形成支持IRIS成员的网络 *， 培训和支持科学教师。 主要目标是： . 开发“实用”地震设备， 学校和学院，以增加学生的好奇心 来解释自然， . 通过以下方式增加对物理概念的理解 连接实验室实验，同时培养一种 熟悉地震仪作为一种基于 这些概念， . 培训教师用他们的知识做真实的“课堂科学”， 并为这些学生提供科学的支持 活动， . 促进地球科学教师之间的互动 和物理学的研究人员， . 为教师提供组织和智力支持， 提供材料、计算机网络以及研究 机遇， . 在全国范围内传播PEPP， 地震阵列，让学生和教师， 做出真实的发现。 PEPP不是停留在课堂“演示”层面， 都在努力向真实的科学延伸。 这种独特 PEPP的特点将极大地促进热情， 学生和老师。 需要三年的时间来开发 第一批PEPP模块配备必要的基础设施， 在进行试点项目之前， 全国范围内的最后一个项目。

PEPP proposes to install a simple seismograph in schools and colleges, to create a computer network to share data and information, and to form a network of supporting IRIS-members* to train and support science teachers. The main goals are: . To develop "hands on" seismological equipment for use at high schools and colleges, to increase the curiosity of students to explain nature, . To increase the understanding of physical concepts through connected lab experiments, while developing a sense of familiarity with the seismometer as an instrument based on these concepts, . To train teachers to do real "classroom science" with their students and provide scientific back-up for these activities, . To stimulate interaction between teachers in Earth sciences and physics with researchers in geophysics, . To give teachers organizational and intellectual support by providing materials, computer networking as well as research opportunities, . To disseminate PEPP nationally and build a unique seismological array that allows students and teachers to make real discoveries. Rather than stop at the classroom "demonstration" level, PEPP tries to extend all the way towards real science. This unique feature of PEPP will greatly contribute towards the enthusiasm of both students and teachers. It will take three years to develop the first PEPP modules with the necessary infrastructure and to show the feasibility in a pilot project before moving on to a final project at national scale.
