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.

Team: My new wonderful home

We live in the same world where we are taught to live, but we must adapt to living now because of the virus. I hope to return to the normal we were used to but for better safety, I would carry myself and all my loved ones/known/unknown. I thought about the thought of creating a city a month as a shelter for us in the event of earthly disasters. My city could look exactly like the picture of tunnels, air domes, dome trees for creating oxygen, laser, a rocket, and numerous pyramid buildings. My home city of all is waiting for new hypotheses for a sustainable city without destroying the environment.
