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.

It is an honor for me to participate in this competition. When Mr. Xie said he wanted me to participate in the competition, I was actually confused. 
What kind of lunar camp is it? what can I do? But one day, I happened to see an advertisement in a subway station with a picture of Apollo 11 on it, and I had an idea. 
Yes, I can build a model for Apollo 11! Therefore, I watched a lot of videos about how to make Apollo 11, and then I started trying to make models. 
A week later, I finally finished it. At that moment, I felt very successful. 
I chose Apollo 11 because this is our first time landing on the moon and performing activities on the surface of the moon. 
This is very meaningful. Since then, we have learned more about the moon. For astronauts, this is a small step, and for mankind, it is a big step forward. 
I hope that through this competition, I can make some small contributions to the relationship between the earth and the moon. I hope they will be closer in the future.
