WALK WITH DESTINY
APOLLO ASTRONAUTS IN SCOTLAND
Supporting the education of the children of Scotland, Walk with Destiny aims to motivate and inspire children to reach for the stars,
offering One Small Step on their way to a better future.
We have so far brought two Apollo astronauts to Scotland;
Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charlie Duke, the 10th man of only 12 ever to walk on the Moon, and Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Al Worden, one of only 18 men alive who made the journey from the Earth to the Moon,
who both gave motivational and educational experiences to hundreds of Scottish school children.
Such an experience is invaluable to the new curriculum as it has sparked so much interest in the pupils to research space and planet earth. I hope it will be available next year.
