This year’s Moon Camp Challenge witnessed a remarkable display of creativity and innovation as 5354 students from 39 countries embarked on the mission to explore and design their own take of life on the Moon. Inspiring designs were received from all over the world. Equipped with 3D design tools, these young visionaries unleashed their creativity, crafting unique concepts that push the boundaries of lunar habitation design.
The Moon Camp Challenge jury, an expert panel of ESA and Airbus Foundation professionals in the lunar exploration, 3D design, and space technology areas, were blown away by the impressive quality of the student’s projects.
Second Place
Moon Camp is an education project run in collaboration between ESA and the Airbus Foundation, in partnership with Autodesk. It uses innovative learning technologies to challenge students to design their own Moon settlement with a 3D modelling tool. It features preparatory classroom activities that focus on learning by-design and science experimentation.
Teams have to design their Moon Camp, which should be adapted to the Moon environment, consider the use of local resources and provide protection and living and working facilities for the astronauts.
Moon Camp is divided in three separate categories featuring different levels of complexity: Moon Camp Discovery (beginners), Moon Camp Explorers (intermediate) and Moon Camp Pioneers (advanced).
This year you can also share your school project through the Moon Camp @School sharing platform. Join the Moon Camp community and share your projects related to design or the exploration of the Moon. These projects can range from scientific experiments, hands-on projects, design of space infrastructures, 3D printing models, virtual or augmented reality worlds and much more. Get creative!
Be creative and start designing your own Moon Camp now!
