NEW CONCORD, OHIO– To celebrate the 95th birthday of Ohio native John Glenn a local organization hosted a space camp.

The John and Annie Glenn Museum Foundation partnered with COSI On Wheels to help school age kids explore and learn about the “Incredible Human Body.” Several area boys and girls gathered at College Drive Presbyterian Church in New Concord to participate in this year’s space camp.

“It’s really important to let them know what one person from our county, from our area could do with his life,” John and Annie Glenn Museum Foundation Education Director Joanna Duncan said. “And still at 95 years old be living.”

Duncan said John Glenn has an incredible human body and that’s why she partnered with COSI On Wheels to show what incredible things our body can do.

“We compared the human body to a machine we have with us,” said COSI On Wheels Outreach Educator Colleen Boshe. “We learned that machines have different systems that lets them run and so does the human body. Just like John Glenn’s incredible body is still working today. And later they will explore all of our stations around the room, to see what else that can learn about the human body.”

The John and Annie Glenn Museum Foundation and Century National Bank sponsored this event. To learn more about John Glenn, visit www.johnglennhome.org
