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.
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!
- Kindness Challenge: Commit to one act of kindness each day, big or small.
Let’s come together and make a statement for respect! Share your stories of kindness and respect with us, and let’s create a ripple of positivity. Together, we can ensure that respect becomes the foundation of every community.

Happy Birthday, Charlie Duke, and Happy #WorldSpaceWeek!
It’s an amazing alignment that we celebrate your birthday on October 3rd, the same day we kick off World Space Week—a global celebration of humanity’s journey into space!
From October 3rd to 10th, World Space Week recognizes the incredible achievements that have expanded our understanding of the universe. As the youngest astronaut to walk on the moon during Apollo 16, your journey embodies determination and adventure. You logged an astounding 20.25 hours on the moon, collected 213 pounds of samples, and captured the only videos of the lunar rover in action, leaving an indelible mark on space exploration! Your pivotal role as the capsule communicator during the Apollo 11 landing showcased your leadership during this historic moment in space history.
Beyond your extraordinary missions, your commitment as the @endeavourscholarship Ambassador highlights your dedication to advancing #STEM education and inspiring youth. You ignite a passion for learning that shapes the leaders of tomorrow, encouraging countless young minds to dream big and reach for the stars.
Thank you, Charlie, for being a guiding light and a passionate advocate for STEM—paving the way for future space pioneers.
Here’s to many more years of inspiring the next generation of explorers!
Happy Birthday, @cmduke16 ! 🎉🎂❤️🚀

#givingback – As we take a moment on this last day of September to reflect on our journey in 2024, we’re reminded of the incredible value in giving back—something we strive to live by every day through the @endeavourscholarship . Our mission is simple: to unite communities and create opportunities for growth, whether through #STEM education, travel to the U.S., or an unforgettable Space Camp experience. This is more than just a scholarship; it’s a chance for students to expand their horizons, give back to local communities, and come together for a brighter future. It’s what we live for—empowering the next generation to reach for the stars while staying grounded in service to others.
Let’s continue to lift each other up because when we give, we grow together. Tag who you believe embodies the spirit of giving in this post and let us know how they inspire you!

We’re reflecting on the incredible dedication and talent of the @endeavourscholarship French students after a great collaboration last week in Washington, DC, with Guillaume BOURDELOUX, the @salondubourget Paris Air Show team, and @kallmanewc. Their passion drives us forward, and we`re thrilled to welcome our second French team to the 55th Paris Air Show this June. Together, we’re ready to explore new horizons and make an even bigger global impact in the aerospace industry!
