Creating big ecosystem in Kara-Balta
Our big goal is to create a Technology Hub, provide jobs, and fight computer illiteracy
Computer literacy for city residents
Teaching modern professions

The project is based on joint work with schools
Schools are woefully short of computer science teachers. Our task is to give knowledge of the basics of
programming and improve computer literacy so that children and teens can confidently
confidently use computers.
We hold free master classes and basic programming courses at schools on a regular basis.
We also held a course in Word and Excel for teachers at School No. 5 in Kara-Balta.

Terms for startups
At the end of January 2022, we held a Hackathon with experts from Bishkek.
The purpose of the Hackathon was to develop entrepreneurial skills in young people and help them realize their ideas. Two projects were selected, and at the moment we are helping young people to implement their ideas.
The first project is the creation of a detailed digital map of the city. The second project is tracking of public transport in the city of Kara-Balta. Both projects were put forward by Kara-Balta schoolchildren.
Our foundation has held its own Hackathon and is currently providing financial assistance in the implementation of projects. The grant amount is 150,000 soms.
