→ What is the Moon Camp Challenge?

The Moon Camp Challenge is an educational and inspirational project run by ESA and Airbus Foundation, in partnership with Autodesk. It features preparatory classroom activities that focus on learning-by-design and science experimentation. Students will have to develop a number of curricular scientific experiments related to the Moon and apply their acquired knowledge in an interdisciplinary manner to design their own Moon Camp using a 3D modelling tool (Tinkercad or Fusion 360).

The Moon Camp Challenge is divided into two separate missions featuring different levels of complexity: Category 1, up to (and including) 12 years old, and Category 2, from 13 up to (and including) 18 years old.

→ Overview

In the future, to enable astronauts to stay on the Moon for long periods of time, new infrastructures have to 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 become Moon explorers and decode some of the complexities future astronauts may face.

Each team’s mission is to design a 3D Moon Camp able to sustain at least 2 astronauts and keep them safe from hazards and the vacuum of space. The Moon Camp should include:

• Use of local resources (e.g. lunar soil, water ice)• Technological solutions (e.g. power source, recycling system, food growth chamber)• Protection (from meteorites and radiation)• Living and working facilities for the astronauts.

→ Evaluation of team entries

A Jury composed of ESA, Airbus Foundation and Autodesk experts will select the finalist teams and winners based on the following criteria:

• Innovation, creativity and inventiveness (30%): How well does this new design “push the envelope” and enhance user experience?

• Software skills (20%): How well does the student design demonstrate technical skills and quality of design submitted based on technical requirements?

• Suitability to purpose (20%): How well does the design prove useful and suited to serving its purpose, providing a positive user experience?

• Online Form (30%): How well do the answers to the form explain and support reasoning for design choices and overall habitability of the Moon camp?

→ Eligibility conditions for Category 2 teams

1 ESA Member States in 2018: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Associate Member States in 2018: Slovenia and Canada.

The Moon Camp challenge is open worldwide.

To take part, teams must:• Be made of students/young people all aged between 13 and 18 years old (inclusive) at the

moment of the submission deadline (16 March 2019).

• Have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 students and be supported by a teacher or mentor.

• Be supervised by a teacher or mentor responsible for monitoring the team’s technical progress, offering help and advice, and acting as the team’s point of contact with ESA’s Education Office (moon.camp@esa.int)/ Airbus Foundation. The teacher/mentor has the responsibility of submitting the team’s entry.

There is no limit to the number of teams a school or club can enter, but each student can only enter one team, and each team can submit one entry only.

Additional eligibility conditions apply for teams from ESA Member and Associate States*.

In the framework of the current collaboration agreement between ESA and Airbus Foundation on the Moon Camp challenge, teams from an ESA Member State or ESA Associate State* that want to participate in Category 1 or Category 2 will have to fulfil the following extra conditions:

• Teams should have at least 50% team members who are citizens of an ESA Member or Associate Member State.

• Each team member must be: ̕ Enrolled in a full time primary or secondary school located in an ESA Member/Associate

Member State. ̕ Or, be home-schooled (certified by the National Ministry of Education or delegated

authority in an ESA Member or Associate Member State). ̕ Or, be a member of a club or after-school group, such as Science Club, Scouts or others.

1. The team’s model must be created exclusively using Autodesk® Fusion 360™. Submissions created in other software programs will not be accepted.

2. Each team must model all individual components of the design. It is not allowed to import existing CAD data into the design with the exception of any files provided by Autodesk, ESA, or Airbus Foundation.

3. Submissions must include at least:• the answers to the questions in Annex 1, explaining the teams project and design;• one rendering as a .JPG or .PNG file from Fusion 360;• the team’s design of their Moon Camp as a Fusion 360 file.

4. Submissions must be submitted as one .F3D file. This means assemblies must be saved as a single-file archive. .F3Z files will not be accepted.

5. Renders may be produced locally in Fusion 360 or the Fusion 360 cloud renderer.

6. The Design History must be visible in your file. The judges will play back the design history to watch how you built your files. Fusion 360 files with no design history will not be considered eligible entries.

7. The team must be the sole owner of the project and all materials submitted to Autodesk / Moon Camp Challenge . Projects sponsored or funded by third parties may not be used. No third party (including your school or project sponsors) should have any rights to materials you submit.

→ Technical requirements for Category 2

By entering the Moon Camp Challenge, the team agrees to the Moon Camp Challenge Official Rules:

1. The team accepts that each entry must be entirely the original work of the team members indicated in the entry.

2. The team acknowledges that entries must not contain anything that is or may be (as determined in Moon Camp’s team sole discretion): (i) threatening, harassing, degrading, stalking or hateful; (ii) defamatory; (iii) fraudulent or tortious; (iv) obscene, indecent or otherwise objectionable; (v) protected by copyright, trademark, patents, utility models, design patents or other proprietary right without the express prior written consent of the owner of such right; (vi) dangerous or potentially dangerous; or (vii) contrary to governmental policies of any country whose residents are eligible to enter the Competition.

3. The team acknowledges that the entries must not promote drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, guns, or violence in any manner.

4. The team acknowledges that the entries must not contain any material that would give rise to criminal or civil liability or that encourages conduct that constitutes a criminal offense.

5. The team acknowledges that the entries may not violate any third party’s publicity or privacy rights. If any entry contains the name, voice, likeness, image or written or spoken words of any third party, the entrant must obtain the third party’s written consent to include such materials in the entry prior to submitting the entry.

If your team thinks an entry may infringe on existing copyrighted materials, please email autodeskcompetitions@studentcompetitions.com.
