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.

The yellow dome is the laboratory, in this case it is used to analyze the lunar rocks,… The orange tube is used to go from the laboratory to the greenhouse or vice versa. Products to eat are grown in the greenhouse such as: carrots, pumpkins, leeks, potatoes. The blue tube is another hallway to go from one side to the other. The little house has a roof and walls, where the astronauts sleep. Where the rocket is perched is the launch pad where the rocket is ready to fly.

I would love to be able to go to a moon base when I'm older!
