IMD Portugal 2024
July 18 @ 08:00 – July 22 @ 17:00
The International Moon Day, celebrated worldwide on July 20th, marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. In 2024, CEiiA – Center for Engineering and Product Development, proposes to organize a special event to celebrate this historic date, involving young talents in educational and practical activities related to space engineering. The event aims not only to commemorate this achievement but also to inspire and motivate the next generation of engineers and scientists. The “IMD 2024 Portugal” will be part of the SLI Summer Space Camp, directed towards secondary and university students and lasting about one month. It is promoted by the Portuguese satellite assembler CEiiA in cooperation with OHB and RFA: https://www.ceiia.tech/sli
Confirmed Speakers:
∙ José Felizardo (CEiiA)
∙ Emir Sirage (NewSpace Portugal)
∙ André Dias (Atlantic Constelation)
∙ Juan Nolasco (IEEE Portugal)
IMD Portugal 2024 Schedule:
∙ 18th July (Afternoon): 3D Design Tool Workshop (1.5 hours)
∙ 20th July (All day): Moon Base Planning and Implementation in the 3D Design Tool / Night Moon Observation (TBC)
∙ 22nd July (Morning): Teams Pitch / Online Expert Keynote
Challenges
Participants will face challenges that simulate the stages of a lunar mission, from conception to the presentation of a space project. The main challenges include:
1. Learning and Training: Introducing participants to 3D design and modeling tools with Tinkercad.
2. Creation and Implementation: Challenging teams to ideate, design, and implement a lunar base in Tinkercad.
3. Presentation and Evaluation: Teams must present their projects to a panel of experts and receive feedback.
Expected Output
∙ 3D Modeling Projects: Each team should present a functional 3D model of a lunar base, created in Tinkercad.
∙ Project Report: A document detailing the design process, challenges faced, and solutions implemented.
∙ Expert Feedback: Comments and suggestions for improvements provided by the panel of experts.
∙ Participation Certificates: Formal recognition of the participants’ involvement and efforts.
The International Moon Day 2024 at CEiiA promises to be an educationally rich and inspiring event, promoting practical learning and the development of critical skills in space engineering.
