The intra-university competition "DULATY HACKATHON - 2024" took place at Dulatty University with the support of «Zhambyl Hub». Nine teams of students from our university participated in the hackathon.
The main goal of the hackathon was to identify talented youth, encourage the development of their creative abilities, foster practical skills in presenting ideas and projects in the form of pitches, and expand opportunities for young people to interact with mentors and leading professionals in their fields.
The hackathon is a marathon for programmers, where aspiring students and graduate students from Dulatty University participate informally in solving IT challenges and prototyping their creative ideas. The condition for participating teams was to create an IT solution for a given task within a short period, specifically 24 hours.
Following the competition results, the **IT jastary** team took **1st place**, the **Hexagon** team won **2nd place**, and the **PICO PARK IST** team secured **3rd place**. The winners were awarded special diplomas, certificates, and cash prizes: **100,000 tenge** for 1st place, **60,000 tenge** for 2nd place, and **40,000 tenge** for 3rd place.
