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.
What an incredible week at the @australianinternationalairshow! 🚀
The @endeavourscholarship had a whirlwind of inspiring events, and we were thrilled to have Mike Bloomfield, NASA Shuttle Commander and our Mission Ambassador, spreading STEM awareness across Australia!
✨ The week kicked off at the Grange P-12 School, where Mike spoke to students about the importance of STEM and teamwork. We were honored to take part in the launch of their STEM Academy, where countless young minds will be inspired for years to come.
☕️ Next up was Tea with Astronauts at @vssec_official, hosted by @kallmanworldwideinc. All proceeds went toward supporting Mission Team 24, and attendees had the unique opportunity to engage with Mike as he shared stories from his incredible space missions. A huge thanks to everyone who attended and donated to our program!
🌟 On Tuesday, we reunited with Endeavour Scholarship alumni from 2023 and 2024 at the USA Partnership Pavilion VIP reception at the LUME, hosted by Kallman Worldwide. Past Team Australia members connected with industry leaders and had the chance to meet Australia’s own @aussieastrokatherine Katherine Bennell-Pegg and Paul Scully-Power. It’s always special to bring our alumni together!
🏫 We also made a stop at @geelong_college, where one of our very own alumni, Ruby-Jane, attends. She had the opportunity to share her experiences with her classmates and introduce Mike Bloomfield and Katherine Bennell-Pegg to speak with the students, a full-circle moment we loved witnessing!
🏆 The week wrapped up with an unforgettable experience at the Avalon Airshow, where we explored the event and air control tower before celebrating the exceptional members of Mission Team 24, Australia at a memorable Award Ceremony. A huge thank you to AMDA for their support in selecting such an outstanding team!
We’re beyond grateful for an incredible week and can’t wait to see our Australian team members again this July! ✨

Honoring an Aviation Trailblazer During Women’s History Month! ✈️✨
As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we’re excited to announce that @theresaclaiborne, one of just three honorees this year, has been inducted into the Pioneer Hall of Fame by @womeninaviation! The @endeavourscholarship team proudly nominated Theresa for her trailblazing achievements and unwavering commitment to inspiring future aviation and STEM leaders.
Theresa’s journey is filled with groundbreaking “firsts.” She shattered racial and gender barriers as the first Black woman qualified as a @usairforce pilot, later becoming the first Black female captain of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. With over 23,000 flight hours, she retired after a distinguished career as a military and commercial pilot.
Beyond her remarkable career, Theresa co-founded @sistersoftheskies, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the number of Black female pilots through mentorship and scholarships. Her dedication to diversity in aviation continues to inspire future generations.
Theresa was honored at the 36th Annual Women in Aviation International Conference on March 28, 2025. Congratulations, Theresa, your passion for mentorship leaves a lasting impact!

🌟 Congratulations, Mission Team 24 Australia! 🚀
We proudly celebrated four exceptional students and one inspiring educator who received The @endeavourscholarship at the @australianinternationalairshow 2025! This marks the beginning of an exciting journey that will take them to Washington, DC, and culminate at @rocketcenterusa’s renowned @spacecampusa this July!
Our celebration was made even more special by the presence of Endeavour Scholarship Alumni and incredible leaders like Col. Mike Bloomfield (USAF, Ret.), Katherine Bennell-Pegg of the @australianspaceagency, and Erika Olson, Chargé d’Affaires ( @usconsulatemelbourne @usembassyaustralia). Their support and inspiration show our Endeavour Scholars what’s possible when you aim high!
A heartfelt thank you to our partners and supporters for their continued dedication to advancing STEM education and space exploration:
- AMDA Foundation Limited – for helping us identify and select these outstanding STEM superstars.
- @kallmanworldwideinc – for your unwavering support in driving this program forward.
- KBR, Inc. and Mark Nelson at @sierranevcorp (SNC) – for your generous support that helps make this mission possible.
We can’t wait to see what these Australian all-stars will bring to the Endeavour Scholarship Class of 2025!
