Certificates
Eight documents from venues in Kostanay and Almaty: hackathons — including the win at the Qostanai AgroTech Hackathon 2026 — a startup idea contest and a city project. Some were issued to the team rather than to me personally, and each one says so plainly.
A free programme run by the Association for the Development of Social Technologies together with ERG Komek and Qostanai Hub: teenagers are taught budget literacy and how to file bids for the participatory budget. The project was the courtyard at 7 Altynsarin Street — drawings, a cost estimate and residents' signatures collected door to door; it passed the city administration's expert board, won the public vote and was funded. Signed by the association's vice-president, Saniya Arapova.
Third place with NPAI. Pizza Pitch is Astana Hub's open pitching format: a short defence of an idea in front of the room and invited investors. Signed by Damir Mnaidarov, director of the Kostanay branch of the Technopark of Innovation Technologies cluster fund — Astana Hub's legal entity; the form carries the Qostanai Hub and AMANAT logos, with the team name written in by hand. The diploma is dated by year only.
Signed by the president of Dulatov University, the ITU regional director for the CIS, the head of Allur's corporate university and the director of Qostanai Hub.
One shared certificate for both festival tracks. Chair of the organising committee: N. T. Duzbayev.
Issued to the team, not to a person: the certificate carries the team name, Jasyl. Signed by the ITU regional director for the CIS and the director of the Kostanay branch of the Astana Hub foundation.
The winner's certificate: first place on case No. 1 — weed recognition from drone imagery. Issued to the team: it carries the name we competed under, Musor Dropp. Signed by Ye. Bayarchuk, CEO of Method 2023 LLP, and D. Mnaidarov, director of the Kostanay branch of Astana Hub.
The case winner's prize — 500,000 ₸: the hackathon's 1,000,000 ₸ fund was split evenly between the two Olzha Agro cases. This is the board handed over on stage — the same one in the team photo.
The hackathon participation certificate. Also issued to the team, with the same signatures as the winner's certificate.
