Jeff Cieszecki

I have been an educator for 18 (16 as a high school physics teacher). Presently I am the coordinator of the Seven Oaks School Division’s College and University Bound (CUB) Program in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The CUB Program works with first generation post secondary students ranging from grades 7 to 12 to transition to university or college. The CUB Program is a partnership between the Seven Oaks School Division, The University of Winnipeg, and Red River College. I also coordinate the dual credit university courses offered in my division.

My personal education includes BSc (Physics, University of Winnipeg), BEd (University of Winnipeg), MEd (University of Manitoba) and MSc (University of North Dakota, Space Studies).

My passion is space exploration which includes my involvement with the Canadian National Marsville Program (Manitoba Regional Coordinator), The WinCube Project (co-chair and educational lead) that involves high school students in space studies. I have had the opportunity to visit Star City (the cosmonaut training centre outside of Moscow) fulfilling one of my life long dreams. This past summer my family and I travelled to Florida to be a part of history and watched the last shuttle launch.

I have also had the chance to see the Queen of England, Reyn can confirm this.

This is my first Microsoft conference and I look forward to meeting all of you.
