NSERC teamed up with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and Little Inventors to bring a once in a lifetime initiative to Canada!

We received close to 3000 fun, thought-provoking, insightful and sometimes truly bonkers invention ideas from children all across Canada, an incredible tribute to their imagination and ingenuity. They truly are the inventors of tomorrow!

• We brought 30 of inventions to life and one drawing got to travel with astronaut David Saint-Jacques to the International Space Station!
• In fact, David and his team at the Canadian Space Agency were so inspired by the results that they now want to take a second one to space!!
• He also answered our Little Inventors questions from the International Space Station - how exciting it that?

Several invention ideas were also turned into real objects by Canadian makers and were exhibited during Science Odyssey for all to see.
