A regional round of NASA International Space Apps Challenge took place in the East Kazakhstan regional center. Kazzinc sponsored this event.
The US National Space Administration annually holds a special hackathon - a competition to create solutions to certain challenges. 105 senior high school students from Ust-Kamenogorsk participated in the 48-hour hackathon. The teams took on a challenge to create demo-versions of IT-products using free and open data from NASA. Participants proposed their solutions of web-design, games, 3D-models on a space theme.
Leaders of the local rounds can participate in the international competition. A short list of 10 best teams selected upon completion of the international round will be invited to visit NASA Space Apps office in New York.
