His work has not only fostered community engagement but has also become a valuable asset in teaching civil engineering courses at Lassonde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, when traditional classroom settings were disrupted, Perras seized the opportunity to enhance learning by creating engaging video content. His initiative began with short, informative videos for his course on geological processes and quickly evolved into a dynamic project on YouTube. Now in its third season, this project known as the \"Welcome to the Classroom\" series, provides students with captivating insights into geological phenomena, supporting their academic journey and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, he expanded his YouTube channel to create \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@geomechanic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GeoMechanic<\/a>\" to enhance public engagement and extend educational outreach beyond Lassonde and York. His efforts are supported by his student <strong>Bora Suda<\/strong>, who helps lead recording and editing tasks. By adding new and engaging segments on the channel\u2019s weekly Geo-Roundups, Perras has effectively mobilized knowledge through videos \u2013 from detailed explorations of metamorphic rocks to timely updates about earthquake and volcanic activity. His videos have captivated viewers around the world, garnering more than 1,000 subscribers, 130,000 views, 4,000 hours of watch time and 990,000 impressions to date. Building on this success, he recently launched \"GeoMechanic\" on TikTok, where he shares bite-sized educational clips to help inspire curiosity and connect with a wider
