Bringing museums to life through performative storytelling

Today’s museums are facing a monumental challenge: in an increasingly loud world, how can we ensure that our important stories resonate with the next generation? When I walk down the sidewalk, it scares me to see people — particularly youth — constantly distracted by their phones. I reserve judgement, however, since youth are truly not at fault. The next generation has never known a world that isn’t constantly clamouring for their attention, offering up endless entertainment in the form of

Being a historian of technology, by profession and by heart, I always look for examples of human ingenuity during my travels. These creative solutions — which employ available tools and materials — offer a unique glimpse into the lives of communities, the choices they make, and the challenges they face. Here are a few examples.

This fall, I had the honour of participating in a wide range of events that showcased the innovative potential of Canadian youth. From the Little Inventors: Inventions for Space Canada-wide competition (run by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Space Agency) to the Prime Minister's Science Fair to the official launch of the University of Ottawa's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) complex, I have seen first-hand the unlimited potential of

A dream come true: My solar eclipse expedition

I have been deeply fascinated by astronomy and space exploration for over 33 years (since I was nine years old). I can remember at a young age staring at the sky at night, and then sifting through astronomy books with a thirst to learn as much as I could. Over the years, my interest continued with a fondness for transient astronomical phenomena such as meteor showers, planets, eclipses, and aurora borealis. I will often drive long distances to be in a good position to view these events.

In my recent adventures as an intern with the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, I spent time programming the Raspberry Pi in order to set a very simple, internal website that can be accessed to see the data. The next task was to start thinking about the casing for the weather station we’re building for the museum. My advisor and I decided to design and 3D print our own boxes.
