KOCHI: A teenyboppers quest for the unknown took him on a 10-day visit to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, a fortnight ago.
Ibrahim Farseen was among the 23 high school students from India and the only one from Kerala to be selected for the programme in which they learned about space exploration, spacecraft and the hidden treasures in space.

He hails from Kasargod and studied in the Kendriya Vidyalaya, Kadavanthra, till Standard VIII.
