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.

Project description


The Lunar Rover is depicted on the platform. It was built of hand-made figures. The wheels placed on the rover’s legs are adapted to move over rocky terrain and overcome various obstacles (e.g. rocks, pits).

The Lunar Rover has been equipped with:

  • solar panels,
  • 3 cameras,
  • antenna,
  • a hinged hatch with a grab for taking samples from the soil,
  • a red box with tools.

Behind the Rover, on the left there is the Polish flag, and on the right is an alien inhabiting the moon / planet. Lunar rocks are scattered across the board. The rover is presented in modern colors.
