Junior inventors aim to make life easier in space

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

As we celebrate World Space Week 2018, kids from across Canada have been busy thinking up creative ideas about how to improve the human experience in space. Last year, Little Inventors — a U.K.-based organization — launched an initiative called Little Inventors: Inventions for Space, in partnership with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canadian Space Agency. Kids across Canada were challenged to dream up ideas to make life easier — and more fun — in

Atonement, if rather late, for a lack of action on my part

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's…

Bonjour, my reading friend. Yours truly is indeed atoning for a lack of action. You see, back in October 2003, the Canada Aviation Museum, today’s Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, acquired one of the largest, if not the largest privately-owned collection of kites from around the world in existence in Canada. This amazing material belonged to Yves Laforest and Anne Clément. Back then, it was their hope, and mine, that kites from this collection would be put on display. For a

The Canada Science and Technology Museum

Award profile: Reinventing the Canada Science and Technology Museum

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

On November 17, 2017, the Canada Science and Technology Museum marked a pivotal moment in its history. The museum reopened its doors to the public, starting a fresh chapter following a three-year closure. In the three years leading up to that momentous event, a small team of dedicated employees worked tirelessly to rebuild the entire facility from the ground up—including the creation of all-new exhibitions—in preparation for reopening. It was an incredible feat of teamwork that did not go

The veins of Mother Earth: Underwater cave exploration with Jill Heinerth

Cassidy Swanston

Canada Science and Technology Museum

As a child, Jill Heinerth dreamed of being an astronaut. As a Canadian girl growing up in the twentieth century, this option didn’t seem accessible to her. Instead of a career that blasted her far above the Earth’s surface, she forged her own path deep within the Earth. She discovered a place where she could still explore hidden worlds, floating weightlessly. Although water is the lifeblood of our planet, we somehow know more about the cosmos than we do about our Earth’s own underwater caves

Rediscovering the Dudley bobsled

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

By William Knight and Bruce Dudley Some museum artifacts are mysterious. They lack provenance, or history, so we don’t know who made or used them, or why. Occasionally, however, objects acquire stories. Such is the case with a bobsled exhibited in Artifact Alley in the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa. The bobsled, it turns out, has a rich history that connects winter fun, Ottawa’s transportation history, and the Great Depression—and memories of a beloved father. As lead curator of

Lights! Camera! Personality! The Karsh of Ottawa Collection Profile

Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation

In 1997 Jerry Fielder contacted the then-director of the Collection and Research Division of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, Geoff Rider, with an offer of a donation. Each year the Museum receives several hundred offers from across Canada, yet Geoff immediately recognized that this was not an average proposal. Since 1979 Jerry had been a curator and an assistant to prominent Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh.

The Petrovic Collection

Award profile: Finding cultural connections through our shared mathematical heritage

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Petrovic Collection at the Canada Science and Technology Museum is a collection of over 130 mathematical instruments from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries. These instruments came to the museum in 1980 from Dr. George Petrovic, a Serbian-born architect who collected them in order to document the connections between mathematical practice and architecture in the eastern Mediterranean regions, as well as countries that were once part of the Ottoman Empire. The collection is now at the centre
