New book celebrates the upside of failure

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Canadians need to learn how to embrace their failures – and use them as opportunities to grow and learn – rather than sweeping them under the rug. That’s the key message in Canadian Failures: Stories of Building Toward Success, a new book by Alex Benay, Chief Information Officer of the Government of Canada. “Personally speaking, I just don’t think we talk about failure enough to get better,” says Benay in a candid interview about his book and the unique approach behind it. “The process was to

A passion strong enough to last a lifetime

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

A lifelong passion for aviation connected Austin Douglas with the Canada Aviation and Space Museum – where he’s been a dedicated volunteer for over a quarter of a century. Douglas – who recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday – retired from a colourful career at Transport Canada in 1990. At the tail end of his career, he worked on the master plan for the Rockcliffe Airport, located right behind the museum. The following year, he began his volunteer work. “It became a habit,” says Douglas of

Behind the scenes: Artifact loans demand all hands on deck

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

When a museum lends one of its precious artifacts to another institution, it’s a little bit like sending your kid off to summer camp. That’s the clever analogy conservator Erin Secord uses to explain the condition reports she’s required to send back to the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy – about an early telescope that’s on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum for the next few months. “It’s a little like sending your kid to summer camp; you send them with a bunch of instructions

Educational resources put 3D artifacts into the hands of Canadian students

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

A 3D scanner, a pair of hackers, and a whole lot of creativity is bringing a unique artifact from the Canada Science and Technology Museum to life in Canadian classrooms. It all started last year, when a zoetrope – a pre-film animation device that produces the illusion of motion – was selected as one of several artifacts to be scanned for educational purposes.

Cassidy Swanston

Canada Science and Technology Museum

Are you interested in learning about how the world works? You don’t need a lab or degree to explore – citizen science projects all over the world bring discovery to your home, backyard, or community.

Augmented reality games attract extroverts

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Gamers are often assumed to be anti-social people, but a new study out of the University of British Columbia (UBC) shows different results. When it comes to augmented reality games – such as Pokémon Go – extroverts tend to be better players. To learn more, read the latest from UBC News.

Sweetening the holidays for the Ottawa Mission

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is looking to make the holiday season just a little bit sweeter for the homeless in Ottawa. On Saturday, Dec. 30, the museum will host its second-annual Cookie Day. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the public is invited to stop in and help bake up some homemade cookies. "Last year, we baked 400 cookies for donation," says Jamie Reardon, visitor experience assistant at the museum. "We need the public's help to try to break that record this year." All cookies will be

Clocktower brews up the perfect formula for museum guests

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Visitors celebrating the reopening of the Canada Science and Technology Museum now have the perfect way to do it – with a pint of the museum’s very own beer, The Formula. Brewmaster Patrick Fiori of the Clocktower Brew Pub says he took inspiration from the museum’s reinvention in planning his approach to making the beer. “The museum’s re-opening, it’s changing; it’s going from an older iteration to something from the future, so that process of evolution just kind of stuck with us,” explains

Hawaiian pizza

It’s the single most popular kind of pizza in Australia and one of the most popular in the world: With its unique combination of savory ham and sweet pineapple, the Hawaiian pizza actually originated in Chatham, Ontario. “Pizza wasn’t known at all in those days,” the dish’s Greek-Canadian creator Sam Panopoulos has said. “[Not] even in Toronto. The only place you could have pizza was in Detroit,” he’s said. After immigrating to Canada in the 1930s, Panopoulos moved to Halifax, then northern
