On Saturday, January 26, from 10am to 3pm, the Museum holds its annual Reaching for the Stars event, with the objective to create a memorable and joyful learning experience for participants of all ages with developmental or physical disabilities. All event activities and spaces are wheelchair-accessible and tailored to accommodate a wide variety of participant needs. Event highlights include hands-on workshops, exploration tables, informational booths and more. Our friends from the local Star Wars group Cloud City Garrison will make an appearance, and Oregon State University’s rocket team will build and launch rockets! Museum Education Director Kathryn Sinor says, “This Saturday will be a full day of fun happenings! Guests will be able to participate in activities all about flight on this planet—and outside it—as a fun scavenger hunt will lead them through the Museum. From learning about hot air balloons to taking pictures in front of alien moons to launching rockets, there will be tons of opportunities to learn about aviation and space in the Museum!” Pre-registration is required. Cost is $5 per participant, and caretakers receive free admission. Register online at www.evergreenmuseum.org.
