Industrial Cadets TinkerCAD Moon Base Project
Create a free account to applyDesign a 3D Moon base for astronauts in TinkerCAD, working through assigned lessons at your own pace. Explore where it could stand and how temperature, lunar conditions, rooms, shapes and materials should shape your plan.
This self-paced design project is aimed at 11 to 16-year-olds and can be completed independently in the learner's own time. It is expected to take around three hours, although participants may need longer depending on how detailed they make their work.
The activity can be completed over several sessions because progress is saved.
Learners use TinkerCAD to create a 3D moon base fit for astronauts. Along the way, they investigate where on the Moon a base might work best and think about practical design factors such as environmental conditions, temperature, shape, rooms and suitable materials.
The activity includes assigned lessons in TinkerCAD and helps participants build confidence using CAD software while learning more about space.
