Aleksandra Skrocka, Zuzanna Kessner, Beniamin Kopiec and Tobiasz Dąbrowski are among the finalists of Al Worden’s Endeavour Scholarship programme, which encourages teenagers in the 15-18 age bracket to pursue a career in science, engineering and space exploration.

The Space Camp will be also attended by their peers from France, the U.K., Australia, Chile and the United Arab Emirates.

Launched in 2019, the Endeavour Scholarship programme was initiated by Colonel Alfred Merrill Worden, who served as the pilot of the Endeavour command module at the Apollo 15 mission.
