In the future, to enable astronauts to stay on the Moon for long periods of time, new infrastructures must be developed to overcome important challenges. Such challenges include protection from radiation and meteorites, energy production, the extraction and recycling of water, food production and much more. The Moon Camp Challenge invites students to explore the Moon and decode some of the complexities future astronauts may face.

In Moon Camp Discovery each team’s mission is to 3D design only one component of a Moon Camp using Tinkercad. Teams can choose to design a:

– Lunar lander

– Moon Base

– Lunar rover

– Rocket

– Lunar Orbital Space Station

The design should be adapted to the Moon environment and if possible consider the use of local resources, provide protection and/or living and working facilities for the astronauts.

Moon Camp Discovery is a non-competitive mission for beginners. All teams that submit an entry that complies with the guidelines will receive a participation certificate and their project will be shared on the Moon Camp online platform.

Who can participate?

Participation is open worldwide to students aged up to 19 years old. Moon Camp Discovery is recommended for students aged 6 to 14 years old. Participating students must be supported by a teacher, educator or parent.

This is our project.

Our moon has two food rooms, and a plant room. On top of the food room, there are two rooms for spacemen to live. There is a water bottle. It just looks like a water bottle,It is a water warehouse. And also we have one house that is made for spacemen’s life. In the house upside there are milky ways. It is Harry’s idea. Also there are the moon, stars, and sun. There are some big devices that can call Earth people. And there are lighter, and airplane. We can go to Earth when we want. Because we can use airplanes. And there are interesting things that look like milk, that is made for oxygen. You can see there is an oxygen supply room. So finally, we are finished explaining about our project moon base.
