Satbayev University hosted a hackathon on energy and mechanical engineering as part of an international conference
Satbayev University in Almaty hosted a hackathon on mechanical engineering and energy, which brought together students and undergraduates of engineering specialties within the framework of "Satbayev International Conference 2026" international conference. During one day, the participants joined interdisciplinary teams and worked on projects on "Energy, resources and technologies for climate stabilization" topic to elaborate innovative solutions aimed at overcoming the current climate and technological challenges.
Hackathon was attended by teams from leading universities in Almaty, including Almaty Technological University, Gumarbek Daukeyev Almaty University of Energy and Communications, ALT University and Satbayev University. This diversity of participants made it possible to combine competencies in the fields of mechanical engineering, energy, IT and ecology, ensuring a high level of project development.
Participants were offered key areas covering sustainable water use, recycling of construction waste, evolvement of a circular economy, the introduction of inclusive technologies, improving energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint, as well as the use of digital solutions in the energy sector. In the course of intensive work, the teams went through a full development cycle – from generating ideas to prototyping and defending them before the expert jury.
The best teams were awarded diplomas and received recommendations for the further development of their projects, which will address our country’s priorities, including the development of energy-efficient technologies, reducing the carbon footprint and the introduction of environmentally sustainable solutions. Projects created as part of the hackathon form the basis for industrial modernization and the transition to a green economy, which contributes to achieving the Goals of Sustainable Development – quality education, affordable and clean energy, as well as sustainable cities and communities.
