鈥淎 large part of our programming is for people who have a natural curiosity about the universe鈥� says Michael Unger, Programs Coordinator at the HR MacMillan Space Centre.
鈥淭here are many ways to teach people about space, so we often partner with local arts and cultural organizations to help build new programs and bring in new perspectives. The local 麻豆传媒映画drag community was excited to work with us to create programming unlike anything that has ever been done in the Space Centre鈥檚 50 year history.
