Michel Labrecque

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

Canada's RADARSAT program has a long history, going back to experimenting with radar sensors onboard the Convair 580 aircraft, which is now in the collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

From brainwave to reality: A sneak peek at the making of a hands-on Halloween workshop

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

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.

The untold story behind your smartphone camera

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

[A shorter version of this article was originally written for Space Matters] As a planet we take a lot of pictures. Like… A LOT a lot. Estimates are in and around the 1-trillion-per-year mark, the vast majority of which are taken by smartphones. Every day, millions of people are taking pictures with an ease that was unprecedented even 20 years ago. And one of the biggest reasons why this is so easy now is because space scientists invested in charge-coupled device (CCD) technology decades ago

Designing a STEM activity: My co-op experience at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum

When visiting museums, I have often taken part in hands-on activities to get a better sense of the historical significance of an exhibition. However, it was not until my three-week summer placement at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum that I truly understood the complex logistics behind such activities. It takes a whole lot of planning, testing, and paperwork to get a public program going smoothly! I got a taste of these steps this past summer; I had the chance to help create an engaging

Want to explore the deep sea? The secret is robots!!

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

Pitch darkness, near freezing temperatures, horrifyingly scary see-through monsters, and the weight of a couple hundred elephants crushing you to death. The bottom of the ocean is not exactly an easy place for humans to explore. But that doesn’t mean that we can just ignore the depths! The ocean is one of the final frontiers of exploration on Earth, and robots are the key to exploring and preserving it.

International Women in Engineering Day: Remembering Elsie MacGill

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In honour of International Women in Engineering Day (June 23), the Ingenium Channel sat down with two spirited young women to discuss their research project about Elsie MacGill. Karen Wang (Grade 8) and Gloria Pan (Grade 9) — students at Cedarview Middle School and Colonel By Secondary School respectively — recently presented their project to visitors at the Canadian War Museum. The young women were among students from eight Ottawa-area schools that converged at the museum for a student

A ride through the evolution of the bicycle (Part 3)

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

PART 3 – The Dawn of the Safety Bicycle, 1880s - 1900 In honour of Bike Month (May 27-June 30), the Ingenium Channel is pleased to share a short series on the history of the bicycle, as supported by Ingenium’s beautiful collection. As shown in parts one and two, even though improvements on early designs opened up cycling to a greater number of people, the high wheel bicycle was dangerous, and not everyone was willing to ride a tricycle. Many riders wanted something as fast and fun as an Ordinary

PART 2: The Velocipede, Ordinary, and Tricycle (1860s – 1890) In honor of Bike Month (May 27-June 30), the Ingenium Channel is pleased to share a short series on the history of the bicycle, as supported by Ingenium’s beautiful collection. As shown in part one of this history of the bicycle, early machines looked very different than the modern bicycles we know today. Today — in part two — we explore the next steps on this journey: The Velocipede, The Ordinary, and the Tricycle.

With the happy arrival of spring, bikes are being dusted off and brought out of hiding for the new season. In honour of Bike Month (May 27-June 30), the Ingenium Channel is pleased to share a short series on the history of the bicycle, as supported by Ingenium’s beautiful collection. Today, cycling is a part of daily life for millions of people around the world. Most ride on two wheels with air-filled tires, using handlebars to steer the front wheel and pedals to power the back wheel through a
