Andrea Donnellan delivered several seminars at universities and also guest lectured in classes at USC. She gave speeches at several elementary, junior high, and high schools.

Ken Hurst volunteered at a local high school and helped out with the laboratory segment of their physics course. Greg Lyzenga also has given talks at schools and insurance companies, and has been working on web pages and brochures regarding the use of GPS in earthquake research. Michael Heflin's time series site is mirrored by a school in New York which uses the GPS data in math and science related activities.
