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: 1st Streetsville Scouts

Mississauga    Canada Category: Moon base

Hello.  This is a project built by a group of Scouts using a shared canvas.  The moon base has dormitories with airlocks and connecting tubes.  There are two greenhouses with airlocks.  In the greenhouses there are potato and wheat plants.  There is a generator in a concrete protective structure.  There is a rocket on the launch pad ready for the next trip back to Earth.  There is a mine dug into a hillside for extracting resources for the moonbase.  There is a rover garage and a moonrover within it.  There are storage and community gathering domes and sheds with airlocks.  There are many solar panels to generate energy for the community, and there is a realistic moon surface with craters.
