Nichelle Nichols Space Camp opens its doors in January 2026, and it's the closest thing to a real-life Starfleet Academy as seen in Star Trek. Inspired by the legacy of Nichelle Nichols, who played the iconic Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series, Nichelle Nichols Space Camp is committed to giving young women an education and future careers in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), impacting their lives for the better. Nichelle Nichols Space Camp also represents Star Trek's philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations).
