The CRAiEDL STEAM Collective invites you to experience two artworks while asking yourself how they might challenge your pre-existing understanding of the topics and technologies they interrogate...

Greetings, my reading friend. How are you this week? May I offer you the caption of the photographs you just saw, my reading… Err, why the puzzled look? Please do not tell me that the names Heath Robinson and / or “Rube” Goldberg do not ring a bell. It is too early in the day for such a shocking revelation. Sigh… What do children learn in school these days? You do realise that, by forcing me to explain who William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) and Reuben Garrett Lucius “Rube” Goldberg (1883-1970)

At the start of 2022, I joined Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation as a research assistant. Ingenium curators Dr. Tom Everrett (Communications) and Dr. David Pantalony (Physical Sciences and Medicine) invited me to write about a research project that I am currently affiliated with called Autonomous Adaptive Soundscape (AAS). The AAS is an intelligent bio-algorithmic system that selects therapeutic soundscapes to relax ICU patients, via application of machine learning and

For the February edition, we delve into a promising solution for combatting slippery winter roads, how satellites are improving our ability to monitor and study volcanoes, and why robotics may play an increasing role in medical surgeries.

For the November edition, they dive into how artificial intelligence can automate greenhouse operations, NASA’s upcoming asteroid defence mission, and why exactly insulin is so critical to our bodies.

For the September edition, our experts wrote about why ocean acidification is posing problems for shellfish, how researchers used gravitational waves to observe a black hole and neutron star orbiting each other and merging, and what the future could look like — with humanoids in our midst.

For the January edition, we provide context around the latest developments in aquaculture, Chang’e-5’s samples from the Moon, and how artificial intelligence is helping scientists to understand the behavior of proteins in the bodies of all living things.

When the global COVID-19 pandemic struck, two Stanford University Computer Science professors decided to engage in a unique experiment; offer 10,000 students from all over the world the opportunity to learn to code using Python — online, for free.

Looking for some inspiration to jump-start learning at home or through your virtual classroom? The education team at the Canada Science and Technology Museum has gathered some of our favourite links to educational, playful, and hands-on resources — which can be done online or offline. We’ve divided the resources into suggested age groups (but note there are overlaps): 5+ 8+ We’ve also separated them into categories: Science experiments Computer skills Creation challenges Applications Lectures

Recently, the media has been flooded with warnings about climate change, and wildly contrasting predictions about the promise and pitfalls of AI. What you may not know is how AI and climate change are linked.
