The second final project from Kazakhstan Smart Grades is a mobile application to increase the motivation of a child in all areas: school, tutors, sections, household chores and even useful habits with the function of rewarding grades. The developers - the Zhaslan and Aliya Tukenov family from Nur-Sultan performed at the final in Moscow together with their son Abilmansur Tukenov (8 years old). They conducted their first experiment already at school number 39 in Nur-Sultan.
