Registration is now open for the Nichelle Nichols Space Camp. This space camp, named after the legendary and trailblazing Star Trek actor who originated the role of Uhura, aims to inspire girls to reach for the stars. The space camp will open in January in Huntsville, Alabama. It is being launched by the Nichelle Nichols Foundation.
The Foundation’s website said the following: “This space camp is dedicated to advancing Nichelle Nichols’ aspiration to empower future generations. These emerging leaders will shape a world that mirrors the vision of Star Trek, grounded in the philosophy of ‘Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations’ (IDIC) – a world embracing diversity, kindness, and peace.”
At space camp, “Students will work as a team and confront mission scenarios that require dynamic problem solving and critical thinking — 21st century learning skills required in the workplace.”
“We are honored to work with the Nichelle Nichols Foundation to continue providing our world-class Space Camp program to a diverse community of young people. Together, we can inspire a spirit of discovery to change lives and change the world for the better through a passion for exploration.” Dr. Kimberly Robinson, CEO and Executive Director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
