We’re a team of young students on a mission to change the game, developing and launching a CubeSat into orbit.
Our goal is to create a better world through the adoption of sustainability, universal education, and innovative technologies. We aim to inspire the next generation of aerospace leaders, thinkers, and engineers who will have the responsibility of developing novel solutions to the world's big issues such as climate change, poverty, conflict, and multi-planetary life.

During club meetings, members will discuss potential solutions to social issues in Kazakhstan and draft specific actions to implement. The members will also organize recreational events for young people to spread ideas and raise a funds for selected charities. Other actions will include the creation of hoodies and t-shirts with the cub logo to advertise and make this a trending topic of conversation. Through national and international collaborations via an existing network and maintenance of website and other social media accounts, we will raise awareness among a large audience. We are looking for people either onsite or remotely to spread this idea at a national and international level.
Ask students, local grocery stores, and local people to donate food that they’re about to throw away (almost expired food but safe to eat). I will use those foods to cook for the charity center once a month and on holidays.

I love listening to music, and I enjoy more sharing my feelings of music to other people. For me, the experience to communicate with my friends about how we feel and imagine about a song is charming, and I always feel emotionally enriched after such experiences. As this experience is so memorable and valuable, however, a lot of students don't get this experience so often. So I feel it will be cool if there is a platform for high school students to talk about music and how music appeals uniquely to their minds, which are very interesting experiences that can reflect students’ inner-self.
I want to develop a website for students who want to share their insightful perspectives about their favorite songs. Just imagine, plug in your headphones, listen to some music you love, and jot down creatively of your feeling about these songs. I will try to create a website for people to easily share their insights (music as a perfect medium) and to productively communicate with...
