Amanda Pascoe

Amanda has spent over 20 years educating kids at the Science Museum in England, the Ontario Science Centre, and in classrooms across the GTA. She is passionate about injecting learning into everyday life – although, as a stay at home Mom, days no longer routinely include handling snakes, making clouds with liquid nitrogen, exploding hydrogen rockets or simulating spaceflights to Mars! Besides writing, Amanda loves the time she spends volunteering at her son’s school, reading, cooking, and practicing a whole range of crafts. She hopes to one day knit something more complicated than a baby blanket!
