  Students of the Kazakh National Women's Teacher Training University presented an innovative project for the rational use of water resources. Their startup "Automated irrigation system" was officially presented as part of a ceremonial event held within the walls of the university.

  The project was the result of the annual Demoday "Startup Tomiris" competition, which has been held at QyzPU for the second year in a row. In 2024, the winners of the competition were 3rd-year students of the Institute of Physics, Mathematics and Digital Technologies Dinara Bulkunbek and Amina Imanova.

  The project's scientific supervisor, senior lecturer of the Department of Computer Science Zhuldyz Bazaeva noted that the main goal of the system is to offer an environmentally and technologically effective solution within the framework of the principles of sustainable development. The authors themselves spoke in detail about the technical features of the device and the principles of its operation.

  The developed system consists of several key components: a sensor for measuring air temperature and humidity, a soil moisture sensor, a water pump and solenoid valves. The system operates autonomously, responding to weather conditions and soil moisture levels, and is controlled via a special mobile application available on Android and iOS platforms. The application provides on/off modes, manual control and automatic scheduled settings.

  “Our system is fully automated. When the soil dries out, the sensors send a signal, and the watering process starts automatically. This is especially convenient for people with limited time,” the authors of the project explained.

  In addition to the technical part, the project included landscaping of flower beds and the introduction of an irrigation mode adapted to climatic conditions. This not only contributes to environmental protection, but also forms an environmental culture among students.

  One of the significant achievements was obtaining a certificate of state registration of copyright, which confirms the innovative potential of the development.

  Chairperson of the Board – Rector of QyzPU Gulmira Qanay expressed confidence that the project could be widely used at the state level. According to her, such initiatives contribute to the development of practical skills in students and motivate them to solve real problems of society.
