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 have built a house to take refuge and live on the moon: (1 module with everything you need)
It has a table and four chairs, they are anchored to the ground.
Four bedrooms with capsule beds.
A kitchen and a living room.
The house is blue, red and brown.
It has a black hole to dispose of the garbage, this waste goes underground to a filtering and recovery module for usable matter: liquids and solids. The water is drawn from a well, which comes from the liquids area and has access to the house through pipes.
The solids are used as compost for existing plants.
The house has a gym.
No need for ladders, we use gravity, we use carabiners and ropes so as not to lose fixation.
It has a pot with a plant from which fruits are obtained
It has a tree from whose species we also get food.
In the house there are several sockets to use the electricity that we obtain through solar panels
