The Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship is an international education program which aims to reward space and science enthusiasts, aspiring leaders and their teachers with a hands-on astronaut training experience at the U.S Space and Rocket Centre’s renowned Space Camp, located in Huntsville, Alabama, USA.

AMDA, in partnership with the Endeavour Scholarship Foundation, helps select four secondary students and one Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teacher from around Australia to receieve the all-expenses paid scholarship program.

The winning group, dubbed ‘Mission Crew - Team Australia’, joins fellow groups from around the world including the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Chile, Singapore, United States and Poland among others, to become ‘Team Endeavour’.

For one-week, students are immersed in the ultimate educational experience to illuminate real-world applications of STEM and space exploration. The accompanying teacher participates concurrently in the Space Academy for Educators Program where they step out of the box and into NASA-inspired mission training to learn methods for delivering the excitement of space exploration in the classroom.
