Designed and developed the original website for Tomatosphere, an educational outreach project for elementary students across Canada. Students grew tomato seeds in their classrooms and compared the germination between space flown seeds, specially radiated seeds and regular seeds. The website provided the means for teachers and students to access resources for the project and a place to record their results.

Developed and maintained the Spacenet website. Spacenet is a space-based educational website where teachers and students can access resources on the Canadian and United States space programs. Presented educational talks to elementary and high schools within the Greater Toronto Area. Topics included Canada’s role on the International Space Station, Mobile Servicing System, and Canadian Astronauts.
