Attention STEM members. There is an opportunity to attend a presentation today in the lecture Hall from 12:30 to 2:00. From Low-Earth Orbit to the Moon, Mars and beyond, humans are moving at full speed through space towards the future! How does space science shape our life on Earth and what should humanity’s big goals for space exploration be? How does lunar exploration help us tackle challenges in such areas as energy, healthcare, and the environment? Brought to you in conjunction with the Canadian Space Agency, join a "Let's Talk Science" panel of world-renowned space scientists, visionaries, and astronauts to learn about the exciting journey to the Moon, the underpinning technology and how it's all connected to your daily life! If interested, please see Mr. Page in room 3005 following these announcements.
