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.

In our “moon base” project you can see the main construction with the solar panels which provide the necessary energy to the base. This construction works as the part of the base where people can live, eat, rest, behind the special material of the transparent sphere, protected from radiation, temperature etc. They can also do their experimental research. In front of the main construction there is an orange sports facility and a building which resembles a tent and it will be used to protect the astronauts in case of an emergency situation. The nearest to the sphere, gray structure, will provide the people in the sphere with oxygen. This project was created by the second group of our club, in the Experimental School of the University of Thessaloniki – Elementary School(Greece).
