Mike de Sousa created the topic: Online Learning and Play
This topic features online learning resources and playthings related to Lunar Mission One and space. Note that there is no advertising of any kind associated with these online resources which have also been vetted as family friendly.

Future Learn offers free online introductory courses on a wide range of subjects: Moons is an excellent example.

Planet Maker is an online creative tool developed by Kevin Gill, a software engineer based in the US. Take your time with each of the parameters and have fun! Note the hide controls in options on the top left, and the moon creator at the lower right.

Well over ten years ago I built a site to encourage and support creativity. I've continued to host the site and some of the playthings are applicable to Lunar Mission One.

Moonlander : This is a lot of fun no matter what age you are! Pilot your spacecraft quickly and carefully across three levels. If you want to be a Lunar Mission Pilot you'll have to make Captain!

Gravity Launch - Launch, then touch down safely on the orbiting space stations. This is not as easy as you might think!

Space Invaders! OK, so where's the educational value here? Develop your persistence, quick thinking, and guile...

Note that these playthings require Flash to function. Always ensure you have the latest version installed as it features security updates. Flash is available from Adobe. Note that you may want to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome and the Google Toolbar when installing the Flash player:

get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

If you come across other online learning tools, add them here, but make sure the resources are suitable for all ages, are free to use, and do not contain adverts.

Big fan of Future Learn having done a few course now. Going to sign up to the moon one as soon as registration is open.

My other signature is much better than this one!

For kids, the bbc has good stuff, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/science/physical_processes/

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.

If you had never played the online game then learn it how to play. Ask the people who is well expert player of the particular game and start play. If you are interested in self study that is good but takes a lot of time.
