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.

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.

Diving into museum work: The life of a summer intern

Charlotte Clemens

When I arrived in Ottawa about three months ago to work as an exhibition intern with the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. My short time with the museum turned out to be more interesting and colourful than I ever could have imagined; I’ve conducted damage reports, gone “undercover” for an in-house investigation, and even built an airplane out of a pool noodle! But before I delve into everything, let me tell you the real reason I’m here. This internship has

Crossroads of Identity: French heritage and street naming in Saint-Norbert, Manitoba

Ayda Loewen-Clarke

Carleton University

In an urban environment, street names provide essential information: where am I? Where am I going? Where am I coming from?
