The East Kazakhstan Regional Center for New Technologies in Education held a remote regional IT hackathon "Jastar Time" among schoolchildren, students of regional universities and TaVE (technical and vocational education) organizations.

22 teams spent two days solving tasks in two thematic areas. Students of the 14+ age category created educational and intellectual games to train memory, imagination, thinking and logic and students had to create a proctoring system to confirm the identity of examinees (test takers), monitor their behavior and track the use of third-party applications.

As a result of the competition, the Grand Prix among students of the age category 16+ was won by the team "Zhastar", D. Serikbayev EKTU. Team members: 3rd year students of the educational program "Computer Engineering" Dastan Zhasbolatov and Elaman Zhumabek. Manager: Zarina Khasenova. Mentor and ideological inspirer: Ruslan Chettykbayev.

In the future, the system developed by hackathon students will help to monitor the process of testing or passing an exam remotely and online. It includes verification of the test subject and monitoring by the administrator (proctor) of their behavior and computer screen during the test.

We congratulate the winners and wish them further success!!!
