Mission Moon -- A STEM Challenge implemented with Lego Bricks and WeDo Kit 2.0

We built models of the lunar landing modules, rovers, pull robots, robotic arms, alarm devices and a complete lunar base. Here are some samples of what was designed after consulting NASA and European Space Agency's webpages. 
Lunar Landing Module -- Initial Design based on Apollo 12
Lunar Landing Module --Improved Design with emphasis on stability.
