ARTEMIS II
Did you know that Canada is on the brink of making history in lunar exploration? Right now, NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) are preparing for Artemis II, the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years—and a Canadian astronaut, Jeremy Hansen is on board. This mission will mark a major milestone not just for space exploration but for Canadian science and education, inspiring students from kindergarten through high school to think bigger about STEM, innovation, and Canada’s role in humanity’s journey into deep space. With preparations underway, this is an exciting time to bring space science into your classroom and watch your students’ curiosity take off!
As it says in my bio, my spark for science was ignited by spending time in nature, camping, hunting and fishing with my family. I studied biological sciences and even spent a summer at Bamfield Marine Station where I fell irreparably in love with protecting the ocean and Earth's biological diversity. In 2013 my spark for space exploration was ignited as Commander Chris Hadfield brought the universe into my classroom with his engaging Tweets of "Good Morning Earth". As a science teacher, I have utilized the power of space exploration to be the driving force for solving problems and taking on challenges in my STEM classes. How can we use our "spark" for space to develop technologies and solutions that will first benefit life here on Earth? We focus on energy efficiency sustainability, resource optimization, agriculture, coding and robotics and so much more.
We followed David Saint Jaques's mission aboard the ISS and engaged in Let's Talk Science Living Space and had the opportunity to speak to David live from space, with host Dr Robert Thirsk. Now we are preparing for Jeremy Hansen's Artemis II Mission and celebrating the first Canadian to orbit the moon! With all of this incredible inspiration, it is my goal to get a maple leaf on the moon!
