About This Activity
In this camp session, students will take on the role of scientists and engineers that will lead the way in lunar surface exploration. Artemis III will land the first woman and the first person of color on the lunar surface in an area that humans have not yet traversed: the lunar South Pole. This is the ideal location for a future base camp given its potential access to ice and other mineral resources. The unexplored south polar regions provide unique opportunities to unlock secrets about the history and evolution of the Earth and Moon, as well as our solar system. NASA’s Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative is a technology development portfolio to ensure human and robotic exploration on the Moon. Each activity in this module will allow students to discover problems encountered as well as solutions as we explore the lunar surface. Each activity collaboration to apply the engineering design process to lunar surface exploration and provides a variety of additional resources to help the educator and student experience what it's like to be a NASA scientist and engineer in lunar surface operations. Camp Activities include: Activity One: “Electrostatic Moon Duster” Activity Two: “Drilling on the Moon” Activity Three: “Print a Lunar Habitat” Activity Four: “Extract, Pack, Transport”
