STARTUP PROJECTS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE “AI-SANA” PROGRAM

The “AI-SANA” program aimed at helping students master the fundamentals of artificial intelligence is being successfully implemented at Abai University. Within the framework of the program, which is based on integrating artificial intelligence capabilities into the educational process, students developed startup projects and successfully used them in defending their graduation theses.


A total of 2,173 students of the university applied to participate in the “AI-Sana” educational course. Among them, 979 students were selected to join the project. This accounts for 45.1 percent of all applicants. Currently, the number of students who have completed intensive training and fully finished the preparation process has reached 240. This figure составляет 24.5 percent of the course participants.


Students who combined theoretical knowledge with practice successfully defended their first digital products. One of them is Nurai Mailybai, a 4th-year student of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, who presented the “Zerde AI” platform as an effective model for integrating artificial intelligence into the learning process. Her methodology is based on identifying students’ mistakes within a short period of time and developing personalized assignments.


Through this program, we first of all learned how to save time. The methodology I developed identifies each student’s mistakes within a few seconds and creates individual assignments aimed at improving their knowledge. Such an approach significantly facilitates teachers’ daily work, – says Nurai Mailybai.


Another proactive student is Zhaidary Nygmetkhanova, a 4th-year student. In her project “SmartSana,” Zhaidary created interactive educational content that strengthens interdisciplinary connections with the help of artificial intelligence. In addition, in her work she demonstrated mechanisms for the rapid preparation of visual materials, strengthening feedback between teacher and student, and automatically assessing academic performance.


– The “AI-SANA” course gave us great creative freedom. Using modern tools, I developed an effective way to bring interactive communication between teacher and child to a new level. In addition, this program makes it possible to automatically assess students’ knowledge and continuously monitor their level of development, – shared Zhaidary Nygmetkhanova.


Abai University pays special attention to ensuring that every future specialist meets the demands of modern times. Today, a teacher must not only master their professional field, but also be able to use artificial intelligence in teaching methodology. The “AI-SANA” program increased young people’s interest in new technologies and contributed to the development of their abilities.
