Join 2022-23 Moon Camp Challenge
In brief
You do not need to be an astronaut to travel to the Moon: join the Moon Camp Challenge 2022-23 and get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure!
In-depth
The Moon Camp Challenge is a school project for students to design their own Moon settlement with a 3D modelling tool.
Moon Camp features three levels of complexity for students between the ages of 6 to 19: Moon Camp Discovery (beginners), Moon Camp Explorers (intermediate), and Moon Camp Pioneers (advanced).
This year you can also share your school project through the Moon Camp @School sharing platform. Join the Moon Camp community and share your projects related to design or the exploration of the Moon. These projects can range from scientific experiments, hands-on projects, design of space infrastructures, 3D printing models, virtual or augmented reality worlds and much more. Get creative!
The 2022-23 edition has some exciting updates:
|
Your team can start their 3D design project with the non-competitive https://mooncampchallenge.org/discovery-2022-2023/">Moon Camp Discovery (recommended for 6 to 14 years old, but open up to 19). Challenge your team to start designing a Moon base, a lunar lander, a lunar orbital space station, a lunar rover, a rocket, or a space suit, using Complexity: beginners Tool: Tinkercad Age range: up to (and including) 19 years old Language: language of your choice. NEW! |
|
Using Tinkercad, teams design the complete Moon Camp and submit their report to an expert jury. Participating teams will compete for the Moon Camp Explorers Prize for best project. Complexity: beginners Tool: Tinkercad Age range: up to (and including) 14 years old Language: language of your choice. NEW! |

Using a software of their choice, teams design the complete Moon Camp and submit their report to an expert jury. Participating teams will compete for the Moon Camp Pioneers Prize for best project. Complexity: advanced Tool: 3D design software of their choice (Fusion 360 recommended). NEW! Age range: 13 up to (and including) 19 years old. NEW! Language: language of your choice. For judging, reports will be automatically translated in to English. NEW! |
Registrations is open from 14 September 2022 to 18 April 2023.
All teams will receive a participation certificate. The winning teams of Moon Camp Explorers and Moon Camp Pioneers will receive a 3D printer sponsored by Airbus Foundation, ESA goodies, and the opportunity to participate in a live webinar with an ESA astronaut.
