MOONCAMP CHALLENGE 2025 – GEL LIMENA THASSOS
MoonCamp Challenge 2025 – ESERO GREECE
Students of General Lyceum of Limena in island Thassos of Greece designed a 3D simulation of a base on the Moon, using the 3D modeling tool Tinkercad. First, they were trained to use the program with simple constructions. They conducted research on the conditions prevailing on the planet as well as in space and are asked to face the challenges they encountered so that their construction met the conditions for a sustainable operation.
Moon Camp is a partnership between ESA (ESERO_Greece) and the Airbus Foundation, in collaboration with Autodesk.
The specific program is fully governed by the basic principles of Sustainable Teaching as:
- it is a student-centered process (encouragement of student initiative, use of participatory and active teaching techniques, use of methods such as discussion, moral dilemma, the action research, the case study and the organization of discourse based on the use of arguments, etc.),
- serves cooperative learning according to which the active participation and interaction of the members of the working groups, but also of the groups is encouraged among them,
- constitutes experiential and research learning, utilizing research and field study procedures,
- serves the interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to the subjects and the creative and free expression, as it falls under the imperatives of STEAM education.
Individual goals of our participation in the program are the utilization of the benefits of STEAM education, such as:
- Application of different forms of learning
- Collaboration, Community, Culture
- Bridging Theory and Practice
- Accessibility for people with disabilities
- Personalized learning, because not all students learn at the same pace
- Connecting with experts, because they will speak a language that is close to that of the experts
- Real-world scenarios and engaging learning
- Career preparation, because in the future they will encounter these tools that will become more and more common than they are today, they will become everyday
- Interdisciplinary learning because many sciences are combined
- User friendly technology
- Diversity and Inclusion of people with special difficulties
