Moon Lander Project: Space, Engineering, Design - Autodesk Fusion 360

Inspire your students to reach for the stars and beyond – designing their very own Moon Lander. This hands-on activity will foster creativity and problem-solving skills while opening their minds to engineering through the topic of space exploration.

Before we head to Mars or another faraway planet, humans must first learn how to survive in space. There is radiation, extreme temperatures, no air to breathe, and meteorites falling from the sky. How do we deal with that? The best way to find out is to set up a community on the moon to explore and learn. Landing safely on the moon will be humanity’s first step in learning how to survive and thrive on alien terrain. But what should that moon lander look like? What features will it need?
