Kenes Rakishev promotes modern skills with robotics classes
On the eve of the national Teacher's Day, a robotics class was opened at the Gymnasium No. 174 of the Nauryzbay district, which currently occupies 59th place in the ranking of city schools. Gymnasium No. 174 was built and commissioned in 2017 by the Saby Charitable Foundation (founders - investor Kenes Rakishev and philanthropist Aselle Tasmagambetova). This is so far the only example in the country when an object of this scale (12,000 sq.m., 1,200 students, 3 hectares of territory) was built at the expense of private fund and donated to the city absolutely free of charge.

The Saby Foundation also took on the costs of organizing a robotics class. A major overhaul was carried out in the specialized office, 16 modern laptops, two 3D printers, a 3D scanner, an interactive panel and other innovative devices were installed. The cost of the project amounted to more than 10.6 million tenge.

Gymnasium No. 174 is not the first and not the latest of Kenes Rakishev and Aselle Tasmagambetova educational and charity projects. In 2020 the pair has opened a dedicated private school in Almaty, the Choqan Walikhanov school. It is built according to the strictest safety and efficiency standards and is the single school at the entire post-Soviet space certified according to the LEED green housing standards.
