Young and budding space professionals from the Kenya Space Agency participated in a panel discussion on Day Two of the Kenya Global Space Education Summit, held at the University of Nairobi.
During the discussion, the panel—comprised of a team from KSA, alongside a team from Leo Sky Africa —shared insights into their budding careers from their inception. A key takeaway was the diversity of careers in the space sector, emphasizing that passion and drive are essential for the young audience to succeed.
The discussions also highlighted the importance of networking and building human capital, stressing the value of connections that will be beneficial in the long run. The session was moderated by @GitikaGorthi from @IgnitedThinkers

🚀 INCREDIBLE news from @blueorigin! MoonDAO’s very own @DrEJahangir is part of the NS-26 crew! It has been a long and epic journey for our community to arrive at this milestone of sending our second person to space, and Eiman's journey from Tehran to Nashville, to becoming a cardiologist, and then winning the Ticket to Space contest a few months ago is nothing short of inspiring. We couldn’t be more excited to have Eiman representing the MoonDAO community.
New Shepard #NS26 crew will include Nicolina Elrick, Rob Ferl, Eugene Grin, Dr. Eiman Jahangir, Karsen Kitchen, and Ephraim Rabin. Read more 🚀: bit.ly/3ymB5Rk
