01
Why do we need AI literacy
Become a member of the (SIC) Swiss Innovators Club
The "NODO" educational programme, developed for students in grades 5–11 of public and private secondary schools in the Republic of Kazakhstan for laboratory, practical, and research work on AI-based projects, prepares future leaders by equipping them with the analytical, creative, and managerial tools needed to responsibly design, deploy, and manage intelligent systems across all areas of society.
What is it
Research-based AI laboratory equipment "NODO" for students in grades 5-12.
Through hands-on classes at the "NODO" AI Laboratory, students in grades 5–12 will gain a deep understanding of applied AI, robotics, data science, and automation, along with the potential to transform and develop solutions for social, commercial, and government challenges — while also mastering interdisciplinary team management and the implementation of ethical, human-centred AI strategies.
