Apart from gaining academic and professional experience from the event, our students also explored more about the culture, tradition, and history of Russia by visiting Russian tourist attractions like, the Moscow Kremlin Museums, Peterhof Palace, and watching Ballet performance.

Most importantly, the friendship between Russian teams and Thailand teams from KVIS and MWITS was developed by the event. This friendship seems to continue to develop and play an important role in future collaborations of science education between the nations.
