PROFCITY: School Students Present Innovative Solutions at Hackathon

As part of the City of Skilled Trades festival, Astana Hub hosted the PROFCITY hackathon, where six teams of high school students from Kazakhstan developed and showcased innovative projects, demonstrating both creativity and technical expertise.


The hackathon aimed to enhance digital skills among students and foster interest in technological solutions. Participating teams included Powerpuff Girls, Kazaton, Apollo, Skillset of Dragon, Moon Bros, and Chichmecus. The students worked on interactive products, simulators, and mobile applications, integrating modern technologies and creative approaches.

The projects covered a wide range of topics, from career guidance to industrial process automation. The Skillset of Dragon team created WORKY.kz, a platform allowing users to explore different professions. Moon Bros developed Jinaq, a website for portfolio management and internship searches. Powerpuff Girls introduced an automated 3D scanning system for mines, designed to accelerate data analysis and detect potential hazards. Chichmecus presented ArchiLine, an interactive assistant for architecture enthusiasts with no prior experience. Apollo designed a platform where customers formulate tasks using AI, and users solve them while earning ratings for successful completion.

The Kazaton team from Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Astana won the hackathon with a chatbot designed for simulating real-life patient scenarios. The jury praised their originality, practical significance, and high-quality execution.

All participating teams received certificates of participation, while the winners were awarded a certificate for Best IT Solution and gained access to educational courses on Astana Hub and Skillbox platforms.

The City of Skilled Trades festival is taking place in Astana from February 11 to 15 at the EXPO exhibition center, bringing together future professionals, employers, and vocational education institutions.
