Years ago, I saw an article online about a pumpkin decorating contest by NASA. The results were spectacular: there were moving parts, whirling parts, computers programmed to display LED messages, depictions of sciences, and some really crazy themes! As Exploratek activity coordinator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, I was immediately inspired to bring a similar activity to our visitors.

Jó naput / hello, my reading friend. And yes, you are quite right in saying that the photograph at the beginning of this article did not appear in La semaine à Radio-Canada¸ a weekly published in Montréal, Québec, in October 1959 or 1969. I appealed to it because it allowed me to talk about a Québec television series aimed at a young audience, one of the first televised science fiction series in Québec and Canada in fact, whose premiere took place in October 1959, 60 years ago. Produced by the

Hello, my reading friend, hello. Yours truly must confess that it is with a pleasure barely contained that I offer you this article. I am indeed fascinated by the flying cetaceans that airships were / are. Wishing to be brief, I will not make you wait any longer. You obviously remember that Le Miroir, of which yours truly used the photographs above, taken from the issue published on 26 October 1919, was the illustrated supplement of the great French daily Le Petit Parisien, and ... That doesn’t

Hail, my reading friend. Yours truly wishes to use this week’s topic of our blog / bulletin / thingee to atone, with much delay, unfortunately, for my obvious lack of enthusiasm for a temporary exhibition project, not realized actually, at the National Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario. For a variety of reasons, I did not believe that the air cargo industry and its history was an interesting topic. I was wrong. Sorry VD. To convince you of this fact

“Museums in a Digital World” certainly describes Ingenium’s trio of museums in Ottawa, which include the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. It also happened to be the overarching theme for the 46th annual Conference of the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Science and Technology (CIMUSET), hosted by Ingenium. This annual event facilitates the exchange of ideas as they relate to museums

Le Caine, a trained musician, was a physicist at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and began work on the Sackbut in 1945. Borrowing from atomic physics, radar, and radio technology, Le Caine innovated techniques in voltage control to generate wave forms and enrich their
