Canada’s Federal Interdepartmental Indigenous STEM Cluster – A Force for Cooperation, Empowerment, and Reconciliation

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Introduction Diverse perspectives in science, technology, engineering and math are crucial to supporting innovation and building trust between the research community and the public. This requires us to look outside of our organizations and think about how we can best support the innovation potential of other communities within Canada and ensure our work is reflective of multiple worldviews. Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations, the Métis Nation and Inuit, have been major innovators since

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

Homeward Bound: Women in Science and Leadership in Antarctica

Dr. Shelley Ball

Guest Writer, Biosphere Environmental Education

What better place to sharpen one’s leadership skills than amidst the harsh landscape of Antarctica. The frozen continent is filled with stories of leadership from the early 20th century explorers and their race to be the first to set foot on the South Pole. For 76 of us from around the world - all women with science backgrounds - Antarctica was the backdrop for our own explorations into leadership.

Seeking equality: Women in Planetary Science and Exploration Conference

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Imagine standing up in front of a room full of people and openly discussing feelings of vulnerability, fear, anger and pain. In my view, that’s an incredible act of bravery - and I was honoured to hear some of those brave personal accounts from the participants at the Women in Planetary Science and Exploration Conference (WPSE2018), which took place Feb 17-18, 2018 in Toronto, Canada. When it comes to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), women, people of colour, the
