Imagine you're in charge of a lunar rover, exploring the Moon, and collecting special Moon rocks. Guess what? YOU can be the hero in this lunar adventure!
In the Little Dipper Challenge, we invite kids of all ages to design their own regolith collectors, just like the experts working on Australia's first lunar rover. Our goal is to inspire curiosity and bring younger generations along on our lunar journey.
Do you want to become a space inventor? Help us explore the Moon by designing and testing YOUR ideas for how we should collect lunar regolith (Moon soil)!
We’ll give you access to special videos from our space engineers, instructions, and tutorials to make this adventure super easy.
… but not too easy – YOU’RE in the driver’s seat and can make your design as challenging as you like.
Earn mission patches by showcasing your designs and testing your creations. This patch is your badge of honour as a budding space expert.
