Scientific and educational weekend at VEB.RF Pavilion at RUSSIA EXPO

On June 8, the VEB.RF Pavilion No. 59 "Cities for Life Come True" will host a scientific and educational day for the whole family.

At 16:00, a workshop will take place where participants will take their first steps in 3D modeling: they will learn to work with a 3D editor and create their first 3D model.

At 18:00, visitors to the RUSSIA EXPO are invited to the "Engineer’s Cabinet" workshop on aircraft modeling. Participants will be able to design their own airplane model and learn about the mechanics of aviation. The workshop will be conducted by Pavel Gaydukov, senior researcher and curator of the space collection at the Polytechnic Museum. What does it take to design airplanes? Why do they have noses, tails and wings? Why are most passenger airplanes white? The expert will help visitors find answers to these and many more questions. Participants will be able to create cardboard airplane models with their own hands and test them for durability, range, and speed of flight. All created models can be taken home.

At the popular science lecture "Polymers: How to Deliver Medicine Precisely and More," which will begin at 18:00, pavilion guests will learn how polymers have revolutionized modern medicine.

What can be used to replace joints? What are dissolvable surgical threads made of? And how can medicine be effectively delivered to the right spot in the body? The answer to all these questions is polymers, and Alexander Shefer, a graduate student from the Faculty of Chemistry at MSU, will provide detailed information on their applications and benefits.
