Description: The Diploma in Seismology for high-school teachers is a 170-hour course, the first five generations started with examples of what they could offer their students in their classroom. The content seeks to apply some of the learning and concepts of the physics courses in high school through the analysis of the information recorded in seismograms. In addition to the material presented to the participant through an online platform, and during sessions, they worked on an integrating project, which objective is to prepare them for the use of seismographs and their data in their classes and begin scientific research themselves. We have excellent results; teachers learned and promoted to their students about seismology. Now the high school Physics programs include subjects based on seismology. At the moment, the sixth generation is taking the new version of Diploma we added a new module, civil protection. The Diploma has reached professors of 20 high schools in Mexico City where also a Raspberry Shake has been installed to integrate the “Red Sísmica del Bachillerato” or the High-school seismic network. The participant teachers know how to extract the information from those instruments and they can work with their students. For the next stage we have support from the project DGAPA-PAPIME PE107023 for displaying the data from Raspberry Shakes installed in five high schools. We will install a screen and a bulletin board with information about basic subjects of seismology. The idea is to have profesors involved in the designed and content production of this board.
