Inspiring Ingenuity Across Canada
Canada has a long legacy of brilliant scientists, explorers and innovators. Ingenium’s Family and collections are based in our nation’s capital and we are honoured to welcome visitors from across Canada and the world.
However, Ingenium’s is able to inspire Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Even in the most remote communities a love of science is shared is through; educational resource kits, travelling exhibitions, virtual workshops and field trips, specialized science education training for elementary teachers and more. And, with critical resources provided by the Ingenium Foundation many of these offerings can be provided free of charge for those that require additional support.
Our Impact
Our mantra is ‘Science For All’
At the Ingenium Foundation, this means every Canadian, regardless of their background, gender identity, education, location, physical, cognitive and financial abilities should feel empowered and valued in shaping the future of scientific knowledge, understanding and practice.
Simply put – science is for everyone!
Like many great innovators, our passion for science and commitment to inspiring others goes well beyond the resources at hand. Through the generosity of our donors, the Ingenium Foundation is able to provide the added fuel Ingenium needs in order to continue to offer the most innovative, exciting, accessible and inclusive programming – to every Canadian. Whether that be through covering shipping costs for travelling exhibits, providing virtual workshops free of charge or funding accessibility initiatives for our historical collections – the Ingenium Foundation wants to ensure every Canadian can see themselves in science.
