The contact will occur as the International Space Station travels at the speed of 28 000 km\/h, about 400\u00a0km above the earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking with an astronaut is a fantastic opportunity. It allows students to have a very direct experience of science and can motivate them to pursue further their scientific interests,\u201d said Jaanimmarik School Principal Gary Koiter.<\/p>\n<p>This special program is coordinated by Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) in collaboration with Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The program is sponsored by Makivvik, Canadian North and Air Inuit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About us:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, the school board of Nunavik, was created in 1975 under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). Since 1978, it has been the exclusive provider of educational services to all Nunavik residents. Under the JBNQA, the school board also acts as an institution with unique powers and jurisdiction geared towards the protection and development of the Inuit language, culture and way of life through the delivery of tailored educational services and programs. The education programs developed by the school board are offered in all schools of the 14 Nunavik communities, in Inuktitut as first language and in French and English as second languages. The school board operates 18 primary and secondary schools, as well as 6 adult education centres.
