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.

DESCRIPCIÓN: This a moon base for astronauts who are scared and need a
place to be in peace. So, in this place, we can find a big dome in which they rest
and another one (smaller) in which they work; between this two domes there is
a building with form of pencil, it is the building where the astronauts have their
library, astronauts have a lot of free time and they read all type of books.
In front of the dome where they rest, we can see a lot of solar panels, because
astronauts are very ecofriendly and they use all the natural resources that they
can. In this way, we can also see two orchards, with loads of plants and
aliments.
Finally, we find three deposits that contain all the things and the regards that
astronauts don’t want to find; they are far of house and they know that they
aren’t going to see their family any more time, so they need to have this things
in a particular place.
