Our Story
Kallman Worldwide (KWW) has formed strong business relationships around the world. One of the benefits of these healthy business relationships is the formation of trust and respect. The respect that Kallman Worldwide has for its partnerships is grounded in history but grows in a strong sense of responsibility for the future. KWW and its partners understand the value of investing in the future, which is an investment in education, relationships, and STEM.
Kallman Worldwide is a global advocate for STEAM-to-Space careers. Since 2015, we’ve worked with Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Col. Al Worden, USAF-Ret., and a coalition of industry supporters to promote science, technology, engineering, arts, and math education to kids and communities around the world. You can imagine how much more exciting it is for them to hear about these subjects from a guy who applied what he learned in school to go to the Moon!
In June 2019, we launched a new international STEAM education program, the “Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship,” to reward aspiring young space explorers and their teachers with a hands-on astronaut training experience at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s renowned Space Camp in Huntsville, AL. The program invites students and educators in host communities of major international airshows to compete for an all-expenses-paid week-long trip. Sixteen student awards and four teacher awards will be made each year beginning in the Fall of 2019. Participating airshows include Avalon (the Australian International Airshow), Bahrain Airshow, Dubai Airshow, FIDAE (Santiago, Chile), Paris Air Show, the Royal International Air Tattoo, and the Singapore Airshow.
"The Moon was the most spectacularly beautiful desert you could ever imagine. Unspoiled. Untouched. It had a vibrancy about it and the contrast between it and the black sky was so vivid, it just made the impression of excitement and wonder."
The Mission Begins
The “Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship,” is a new international education program to reward aspiring young space explorers and their teachers with a hands-on astronaut training experience at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s renowned Space Camp in Huntsville, AL.
The scholarship, named for the Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot and global advocate for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) education, invites students and educators in host communities of major international airshows to compete for an all-expenses-paid week at Space Camp.
Informed now by these experiences and heartened by the relationships Kallman and Worden cultivated around the world, the Astronaut Al Worden “Endeavour” Scholarship passes the torch to help light the way for students from international airshow communities to pursue their dreams and contribute more purposefully to the future of humankind on Earth and in the universe.
