Frequently asked questions about hackathons
A quick look at how the hackathon platform for Kazakhstan works.
What is a hackathon?
A hackathon is an intensive competition where teams build a working prototype within a limited time (usually 24 hours to a few days) and present it to a jury. Hackathons help validate ideas quickly, discover talent and grow the IT community.
How do I find a hackathon in Kazakhstan?
Open the hackathon catalogue on Stavleak, filter events by format (online, offline, hybrid), focus area and registration status, then apply right on the hackathon page.
How much does it cost to take part in a hackathon?
Most hackathons on the platform are free for participants — the organizer sets the final terms and shows them on the event page.
Do I need a team to participate?
Not necessarily. You can bring a ready team, form one through the team-matchmaking section, or compete solo when the organizer allows it.
How do I organize and run my own hackathon?
Sign up as an organizer and request a demo. Once approved you'll create an event page in three languages and configure the application form, registrations, judging and results — all in one platform.
