"I've never seen anything like it": a participant of the "Inventing the Future" Symposium from Kuwait visited the Moscow Planetarium

Master of Science in Systems Engineering and Process Management, Technical Director of Wireless Power Production at Electrodis Tech, Jenan Al-Shehab from Kuwait, took part in the International Symposium "Inventing the Future." Despite her tight schedule filled with sessions and business meetings, she found time to attend a special tour and was thrilled with her experience at the Moscow Planetarium.

Jenan Al-Shehab confessed that, despite her engineering background, she has always loved space and space technologies.

"I am fascinated by astronomy and space. The planetarium made a huge impression on me. It's great that learning here is conducted in an interactive format, which makes it interesting for both children and adults who may not have a deep knowledge of astronomy," said Jenan Al-Shehab.

The greatest impression on the international participant was left by the comet gallery, as well as the opportunity to touch a real asteroid. Jenan Al-Shehab noted that she had never seen anything like this anywhere else in the world.

In just three days of the "Inventing the Future" Symposium, more than 1,500 people attended tours. Participants explored the National Centre RUSSIA and the expositions presented there, as well as took part in special tours around Moscow: by river and by bus.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work. The first event at the National Centre RUSSIA was the International Symposium "Inventing the Future," which welcomed more than 6,000 guests from 101 countries.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
