Future engineers,
programmers, and inventors showcased their knowledge and skills in the Almaty
region at the regional robotics championship. The event brought together over
1,200 participants aged 4 to 18. They demonstrated their talents by solving
challenges on the theme of the underwater world. The participants not only
developed innovative technologies for exploring oceans but also sought ways to
preserve ecosystems. One of them is Yermek Daurenbay from Turkistan.
«We also designed an
underwater area with seaweed, which is collected by a 3D robot model,» shared participant
Yermek Daurenbay.
Many new projects were
showcased at the competition, including an eco-station designed to prevent oil
spills in water bodies. According to the organizers, interest among young
Kazakh students in robotics and programming is growing every year.
«After studying the
underwater world, the children were tasked with finding an engineering
solution, which they then had to present to the judges. Additionally, each team
creates its own robot based on artificial intelligence, designed to perform
various missions,» said Assylbek Murzakhmetov, head coach of Kazakhstan’s robotics
team.
Similar regional
robotics competitions will be held in Aktau, Shymkent, and Astana. The best
teams will earn quotas to participate in the Central Asian championship, which
will bring together 3,000 schoolchildren. The winners of that event will head
to Houston, U.S., to compete in the international competition.
