To the Moon and Back

The time has come to launch your rocket, travel through the vastness of space and bring your astronauts safely back to Earth! Are you ready for this challenge?

What you will do

The activity culminates with an exciting launch in 3-4 stages:

Introduction and briefing: We start with an impressive video about the space race in the 1960s, followed by a presentation. This will help your team use this historical knowledge for their own project.

Astronaut Bootcamp (optional): Experience the intense physical and mental preparation required for moon landings. Participate in challenging team assignments focused on fun and team building.

Rocket Science: Teams tackle the seemingly “impossible” task of building a rocket, manned by an astronaut, and ensuring it returns safely to Earth. Split into three departments (Engineering, Life Support, Navigation), the teams must work independently, but also communicate and work together effectively. After 60 minutes of construction, all rockets are assembled for launch.

T-minus 30 seconds: Head outside for the final countdown. The control center guides your rocket to the launch pad and prepares for launch. If all goes well, you'll experience an impressive lift-off and a safe return, with which your team will contribute to the history of space exploration!
