MDA Space Rover Explores Back 40
When alumni Elliot Eydelman '15, an employee of MDA Space, heard that their engineers were looking for a test site with "challenging terrain", he immediately thought of the Back 40 of the CDS campus.
This past week, a team of aerospace engineers from MDA Space was on campus to test their guidance and navigation systems on one of their rovers. They took time out of their busy schedule to interact with students in two of our Senior School classes - Grade 11 Computer Engineering and Grade 12 STEM and the Future of Science.
Students were given a demonstration of the rover navigating autonomously through a field of traffic cones. They also participated in a Q & A with the engineers covering a variety of topics including programming, careers in aerospace engineering, and exploration of the solar system.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
