Among developers in Kazakhstan, 1 million tenge will be awarded

On November 8, a hackathon will kick off in Karaganda—a competition for developers designed to attract creative minds to develop a technological project. The event's prize fund is 1 million tenge, and the best projects will have the chance to be implemented.

The organizer of the hackathon is the Karaganda startup ecosystem "Terricon Valley," with partners Freedom Bank and Freedom Telecom. Participants will develop a project specifically for them—a system for searching and selecting candidates for job vacancies.

Teams will have only 48 hours to create an MVP. After that, participants will be able to present their solutions to the jury members and compete for one of the main prizes. In addition to monetary rewards, teams will have the opportunity to promote themselves to potential employers and investors, as participants will be able to showcase their projects to representatives of the IT industry and business.

Unlike standard competitions, the hackathon is focused on developing real-world solutions, allowing participants to gain invaluable experience working on a business case that reflects market needs. For beginner developers, this is a chance to make their mark, find like-minded people, and try their hand at team development while improving their presentation and persuasion skills. For experienced professionals, it is an opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and open doors to future projects and opportunities.
