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.

Meteorite impact Three astronauts from ESA flew to the moon and built a drill on it and are now trying to look for water on the moon. They built a lunar base and they spent the night there, then they built a rocket on the moon for the return flight to earth, but then a warning signal came and they located a meteorite. The trajectory of the meteorite was drawn on the astronauts station. They tried to shoot the meteorite and destroy it, but they couldn’t break it on their own, but then another rocket came, which was launched from Earth controlled and that means it was not full of astronauts who were armed, but that was a rocket that can destroy the meteorite directly. The three astronauts all had panic, they flew straight back and told everything they could see on the moon but whether who found the water, nobody knows.
