Watch robots dance and duel, compete with robotic arms in table tennis and with an AI goalkeeper in soccer challenges, and even enjoy a latte topped with AI-generated art of your own face — this was the kind of futuristic fun foreign media members experienced during their visit to the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum.

On Nov. 26, members of the foreign media delegation participating in the 2025 “A Date with China” program toured the museum, enjoying an immersive, hands-on journey through cutting-edge technologies.

Delegation members tried everything from robot competitions to brainwave-controlled installations.

Through first-hand encounters, they gained a more intuitive understanding of China’s latest achievements in robotics, artificial intelligence, and brain science integration.

Afghan content creator Mohammad Hashem Mohammadi said the visit exceeded his expectations.

“And it's one of the best museums I have ever been to. It feels like a futuristic museum. And here we saw a lot of robots. But the most important part was that the robots were dancing and they were also fighting.

“I strongly recommend everyone to come to Shenzhen if they really want to see China’s high tech. This is definitely the place to begin exploring and then go to other places. I feel very amazed by this place.”

Northern Ireland influencer Eoin Vincent Ruddy, visiting China for the fourth time, was impressed by how much of the museum encourages direct participation:

“It is extremely interactive and fascinating for me to walk around here. I found that 80% of the things going on in the museum are actually interactive for its guests, and we've been taking part in a lot of the different things happening here.

“We just interacted with a coffee-making robotic arm that printed an image of my face onto a coffee, which has probably been the highlight of my day so far.

“We've also been playing table tennis against robotic arms, competing against an AI goalkeeper in soccer challenges, and taking part in lots of other activities. So far, we are just absolutely fascinated and blown away by the museum.”

Mexican influencer Noelia Rodriguez Pascual, whose YouTube channel has more than 7.8 million followers, highlighted the museum’s scale and its universal appeal:

“The museum — the architecture — is just impressive. It’s so big, and the technology they have for the exhibitions and all the interactive experiences within the museum is incredible.

“It's ideal for families, for kids and for adults. I think we can all play and have fun there.”
