Kazakhstan’s largest offline AI hackathon brought together participants from 20 regions of the country, uniting school students, university students, professionals, and entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions.

In Pavlodar, the event is being held at Toraighyrov University in partnership with Pavlodar Hub.

The first day of the hackathon, titled Solana Day, focused on the blockchain track. Participants completed registration, received branded merchandise, and embraced the spirit of unity: the official opening ceremony was broadcast from Astana to all regions, allowing everyone to feel part of a nationwide movement. After the opening, teams gained access to the tasks and immediately began working on them. The first brainstorming sessions, idea discussions, and solution development started—projects that may soon grow into full-scale initiatives.

The total prize pool is $20,000, along with valuable prizes such as a MacBook, iPhone, or AirPods. Winners will be officially awarded at the upcoming International Forum Digital Bridge 2025.

We wish all participants bold ideas, inspiration, and confidence. May this hackathon become a step toward new knowledge, discoveries, and future achievements.
