Librarian’s Note: This looks like a really fun project. A Project Director leads a number of family teams in putting together a Moonbase. It’s less about the Moon than developing understanding of the concepts of systems integration and teamwork, amongst other skills, but in a richly developed Moon-themed setting. The use of ‘Community Experts’ is encouraged to enrich the knowledge base of participants. It’s packed with quality supplies like laminated table-tents, so it’s clearly designed for multiple uses. I’m really looking forward to reviewing this educational kit. I’m just torn as to whether I should try to run an experimental ‘Lunar Challenge’ as part of the review process because it does look like fun and I do have the Lunar Library for reference materials.
