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.

This is a spaceship. It was designed to transfer austronauts form earth to the moon. From there they can collect moon rocks and bring them back to earth, or stay in a moon camp.

The spaceship has some unique abilities, such as auto pilot, lasers, and invisibility.

It can contain up to 3 people, and max 70kg of food and supplies.

Inside of the spaceship, there’s a total of 4 sleep chambers, one cockpit with 2 seats, and 3 storage corridors.

When on the spaceship, the astronauts wake up, take their breakfast from the warehouses, prepare it and when they are done, they will prepare to correct any malfunctions on the ship. After that, the captain will enter the cockpit and start navigating the ship.
