The goal in this part is to introduce the MiniMOOC to the participants with a general introduction to the course and a launching activity.
Scenario: Imagine an accident on the moon. The aim is to find the essential equipment to reach the mother rocket, by classifying 15 objects in order of importance. The exercise is done individually and then in groups. The different rankings are then compared
Evaluation forms are provided in each part. They can be used during the course or in the end of the MOOC, in order to evaluate the students, depending on each teacher's organisation.

Goal: the students have to explore the theme, test some scenarios, collect some data and answer some questions in order to prepare a journey to the Moon and to survive on the Moon.
Scenario 1: understanding that the success of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon – and the safety of the astronauts – was based on engineering, ingenuity and technology.
Scenario 2: understanding what are the technological and engineering challenges to survive the journey.
