Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Colonel Al Worden, a global advocate for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) education, inspired the Endeavour Scholarship program which launched in 2019.

Managed by the nonprofit Kallman Foundation, a 501(c)(3), the program awards scholarships that bring teams of carefully selected secondary school-age students, and their teacher chaperones, to participate in the world-renowned Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, USA.

Carrying out Worden’s legacy through advocacy, Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot, Brigadier General Charlie Duke, USAF (Ret) has been a Mission Ambassador for the program for the past two years, meeting scholarship winners at select awards ceremonies and inspiring hundreds at Space Camp each year.

Working in close cooperation with Kallman Worldwide, Inc., the organizer of official USA national participation in leading international air shows, the Endeavour Scholarship award and recognition ceremonies are paired with selected air shows over a two-year cycle. The entire roster of ‘Endeavour Scholars’ includes students and teachers from the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Chile, France, Singapore, Australia, Bahrain, Poland, Indonesia, and the United States. 

The program is funded through the generosity of private-sector corporations and individuals who share Al Worden’s passion for inspiring future generations to work across national boundaries and keep reaching for new horizons.

October is packed with learning, and we`re back with #LearnWithSara! This time, we`re exploring life science and medicine, celebrating the breakthroughs that keep us healthy. Did you know health sciences and space exploration are closely connected? Research on the @iss has advanced areas like bone density and disease prevention.

Did you know? @nasajpl engineers and Dr. Michael DeBakey developed the LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) in 1995, an artificial heart pump, inspired by space shuttle fuel pumps!

At @endeavourscholarship , our students experience these connections firsthand at @spacecampusa , exploring how space exploration drives advancements in health sciences.

Here are some fun body facts—let us know which surprised you:

👬 Everyone has a unique scent, except identical twins!

🤧 Sneezes can reach 100 mph!

🦈 Your teeth are as strong as a shark`s!

🖐 Just like fingerprints, your tongue can be used to identify you!

Got any cool facts? Share them in the comments, and let`s keep the learning going! 💡

This week, people around the world have been captivated by the Northern Lights, and at the @endeavourscholarship , we are thrilled to join in and witness the excitement! That’s why we’re back with another edition of #LearnWithSara, exploring the amazing phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. The magic of these dancing ribbons of light in the sky is truly marvelous, but how do they happen, why, and when? The Northern Lights have mesmerized people for thousands of years.

Did you know that the first recorded sighting of the Aurora Borealis was in 567 BC? As one of the greatest natural light shows on Earth, the Northern Lights are at the top of many travelers` bucket lists. They are not just a beautiful sight; they’re a reminder of the complex interactions between the Earth and the sun. 🌌✨💫

How much do you really know about these magical lights? We’ve lined up some fun facts to test your knowledge! Share your answers or any photos in the comments below!

Here’s a list of questions about these fascinating lights:

- What causes the Northern Lights?

- Does cold temperature affect the visibility of the Northern Lights?

- Where do the colors come from?

- Can you see auroras on other planets?

- Do the Northern Lights make any sounds?

#RespectWeek – This week-long national initiative reminds us of the importance of respect for ourselves, others, and our communities. It’s about fostering connections, finding support, making positive choices, and most of all, spreading kindness!

At @endeavourscholarship, respect is at the heart of what we do. It’s a value championed by our Director, Sara Kelley —a former educator and advocate for cultivating respect both in and beyond the classroom. We’re committed to creating environments where kindness, inclusion, and understanding thrive—not just this week, but every day.

Here’s how you can get involved:
- Spirit Week: Join activities that celebrate unity and community spirit!
