The name is based on the Latin root of the word ingenuity.[2] Until June 2017, the corporation was branded as Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation (Société du Musée des sciences et de la technologie du Canada).

The corporation oversees the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The organization is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario.[3]
