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.

We created one Moon Base. It is consisted of 5 buildings and the main building which is connected with the others and is the control room. At the roof of the main building there is a raw of photovoltaic panels that can be stored inside the building in case of a meteor shower. The other 4 buildings form our house at the moon and our personal greenhouse. Each of the buildings has a gym, bedrooms, kitchen and rest area. Our construction is at the poles of the moon. Our choice for our base being constructed underneath the surface of the moon was to be protected from the incredible temperatures, the meteor showers and radiation.
