Claremore Community to Celebrate ROOSA SPACE DAY - September 18, 2021 

Roosa Space Day is right around the corner. The Claremore MoH and Claremore Public Schools are partnering to celebrate a historical event and showcase several exciting new developments in the community. On Saturday, September 18. 2021.  Roosa Space Day is open to the entire community. It will feature the Journey to Space STEM Event in the newly completed Innovation STEM Center at CHS, funded by the #CPSZebraBond2019 and the To The Moon And Back Event at the MOH.

The CHS Innovation Center will be full of activities for all ages, including a family/team GooseChase Digital Scavenger Hunt, Drone Obstacle Course, Flight Simulator, Virtual Reality Headsets, authentic NASA artifacts - TBA, and over 25 hands-on STEM activities designed to explore, experiment, and engage students in the world of science, technology, engineering, and math.  There will also be several food trucks available for a quick bite to eat.

During the day at the Claremore Museum of History, there will be a sneak peek at the city’s new Roosa Playground in Gazebo Park, the unveiling of the newly expanded Stuart A. Roosa exhibit, a Bill Moore book signing, and more family activities. Later in the evening, there will be a members-only reception. 

These events coincide with the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14. We are proud as a city, as a public school system, and as a museum to honor the accomplishments of Claremore’s astronaut, Stuart A. Roosa.
