Researchers
Student of NIS PMD Astana (2017-2021) and Quantum STEM School Astana (2021-2023). Researcher in the field of rocket and space technologies, popularizer of space, winner of national and international competitions of scientific projects, the youngest employee of the space industry in Kazakhstan, the youngest speaker at TEDxAstana 2021. I believe that space should be accessible to everyone, and therefore I am promoting it: I tell about space on my Instagram blog, organize educational events, and conduct webinars on space topics. Life is one big exploration of the world, its structure, and its reality. At least for me.
