We invite you to level up your management skills — no IT background required.

This hands-on course is designed to take you from a random one-off assignment to a real digital solution — built on your actual government cases.

🧑‍💻 Course Program:

Week 1 — Learn & Dive In: We start by experiencing the classic chaos of ad-hoc assignments through business games, then master design thinking, AI tools for task optimization, hypothesis generation, and unit economics. We build a managed process from idea to release — in teams.

Week 2 — Refine Online via Zoom: In-depth consultations, project refinement, and independent work.

Final: A graduation Demo Day where teams present their finished project solutions.

📆 Dates: August 10–19
🕦 Start: 09:00
📍 Venue: Aqmola Hub, 7 Gagarin St., 5th floor
