A bucket of stars

Rosen, Suri,


It’s the summer of 2003 and thirteen-year-old astronomer Noah Cooper has just moved to Queensport, a small town with a vast amateur sky full of stars. There he meets Tara Dhillon, a lonely girl and aspiring filmmaker. When the two team up to produce an astronomy movie and enter a film contest, they discover a secret plan to turn their rural hamlet into a huge subdivision. Noah and Tara must use their unique skills to identify the culprits who plan on paving over the historic county ― and try to save the infinite beauty of the stars. As if that’s not enough to have at stake, Noah needs to win the prize money to buy a new telescope for his unemployed father ― an ex-astronomer who’s almost given up on the stars, as well as life on earth.

How do social media algorithms work?


From the Curio.ca streaming audio-visual collection. You don't have to be in advanced math for algorithms to have an impact on your life. In simple terms, an algorithm is the set of instructions that determines how your computer software behaves. On social media platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, the algorithm determines which posts you see and in what order. It also decides which posts you don't see. So, while you may think you're getting an unfiltered view of the world when you scroll, in fact, your social media experience is being carefully curated.
