The prestigious competition was aimed at enhancing the scientific and technological potential of young researchers and innovators, as well as identifying the best projects.

In the Entrepreneurship Challenges category, the “Turkistan STEM+VR Innovators” team won first place. The students successfully defended their project entitled “Development of Digital STEM Laboratories: Technological and Economic Efficiency of Implementing 3D Printing and Virtual Reality (VR)”. The team members were B. Shukirbai, B. Tuleutayev, and N. Kalkoz, with PhD, Senior Lecturer B. Kurbanbekov serving as the team supervisor.

Two more of our teams also achieved excellent results in this category. In particular, Yassawi NanoTeam won second place (team members: Sh. Abduzhapparov, Z. Baltabayev), while Yasawi Tech secured third place (team member: D. Patchakhanov, supervisor: Research Fellow K. Kelesbayev).
