Design Humanity's Next Home on the Moon.
A 20-week advanced lunar engineering and space systems program for students ready to move beyond Citizen Science and design their own Moon Base mission.
The next generation of space exploration will require more than students who can identify planets or explain rocket launches. It will require young people who can think like scientists, engineers, researchers and mission designers.
The Moon Base Architect Program challenges students to answer one extraordinary question:
Five phases. One escalating engineering challenge — from lunar science to a defended mission architecture.
This is not a group lecture program. Every student receives two 30-minute personalized sessions every week — one focused on research, one focused on engineering.
Every session moves the student's Moon Base one step closer to reality.
Twelve interdependent systems. Tap or hover a module to see what your child will engineer.
Students are introduced to the same analytical frameworks used by real mission designers — explained in language a parent can follow, applied at a level a serious student can grow into.
Every program concludes with a complete Mission Dossier — a technical portfolio a student can present, defend, and carry forward.
Students won't only design the perfect Moon Base. They will be challenged with mission failures that force real-time engineering decisions.
Can your Moon Base survive?
Students present their Moon Base architecture to reviewers and answer direct questions about their engineering decisions.
Outstanding projects may be considered for SDRO's national recognition framework and eligible external competitions or opportunities, subject to their official rules and announcements.
Students develop scientific reasoning, systems thinking, research skills, engineering thinking, problem solving, communication, presentation and project ownership.
