Schoolchildren from Kazakhstan have reached the Diamond Challenge final for the first time

Eleventh-grade students from the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in Taraz entered the top 20 best social entrepreneurial projects among schoolchildren worldwide, representing Kazakhstan at the Limitless Global Summit.

The team of four high school students — Aimer Koshmambetov, Yerasyl Zhumakadyr, Aliyar Sagandykov, and Kudiyet Akhmet — presented an innovative device called ASAR, which helps people with disabilities use digital technologies.

The Diamond Challenge, organized by the University of Delaware, annually brings together the most ambitious young innovators from around the world. The final stage in Wilmington, Delaware, brought together teams from 19 countries, including Japan, Thailand, Turkey, Guatemala, and Korea.

Another source of pride for Kazakhstan is that Yerasyl Zhumakadyr was included in the top 25 best young leaders according to the Limitless World Summit.

The project received support from Freedom Finance, which allowed Kazakh talents to make their mark on the international stage.
