A crane on the back of a ship lowers an deep sea exploration robot while two workers observe

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

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.

Leonardo da Vinci: An expert shares his insights on a life of genius

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

As an inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer, architect, sculptor, and philosopher, there are few figures in human history who fascinate and inspire us as much as Leonardo da Vinci. For Dr. Andrea Bernardoni, Senior Researcher at the Galileo Museum in Florence, Italy, Leonardo’s work has been a key focus of study. Looking through the lens of the History of Technology, Bernardoni has curated several sections of exhibitions dedicated to Leonardo, which were showcased at venues in Italy

Bon jorn / good day. I have a question for you, my reading friend. Would you like to take a closer look at the wonders that lie beneath the surface of the ocean, without having to transform yourself into a human frog with scuba gear, air tanks, regulator, mask, fins, etc.? Yes, I know, there are aquariums that offer such an experience. Yes, yes, again, I know, some sites offer underwater tours in abundantly glazed submarines. What I’m talking about is very different.

Is that an expression of shock or disbelief I see on your face, my reading friend? Shock would be an appropriate reaction. Disbelief, not so much. What follows is no joke, my reading friend, but I beseech you not to try this at home. This week’s story comes to you courtesy of the most successful aviation magazine in Canadian history, personal opinion, the monthly Canadian Aviation, more specifically its April 1929 issue.
