Simon (11) would one day like to be an astronaut. With an avid interest in science Simon spends his days at "science camp" at Science North in Sudbury, Ontario. Simon recently spent part of his summer, planning "a mission to Mars", and has even attempted building his own mock spaceship! On the flip side, Dakota (11) spends his summers at Westfield Pioneer Village. Dakota's entire family is involved in portraying the "blacksmith" family. He spends his weekends in the blacksmith home, assisting in the shop and helping interpret life back in 1870.

The Swap: Watch as Dakota learns about astronomy, tries making his first rocket and kid-made spacesuit! Meanwhile, Simon will learn first hand what it was like to be a kid before the turn of the century. He will do all the daily chores, take a lesson in a one-roomed schoolhouse, and celebrate with the local town people. It's old versus new - a definite demonstration of how things have changed!
