On March 4, 2026, the final state round of the project (scientific-creative) competition for 11th and 12th-grade students was held at the Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan. Organized by the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, the event took place within the framework of the "Altyn asyryň altyn zehinleri" (Golden Talents of the Golden Age) competitions.
According to the Competition Regulations, 401 students participated with 245 projects that had won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the provincial (including Ashgabat and Arkadag cities) rounds. The projects covered various subjects (Mother tongue and literature, English, History of Turkmenistan, Geography, Ecology, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Informatics) and Robotics. A project could be carried out by either one or two students from the same grade and school.
In this final state stage, the jury determined three winners for each subject and robotics (1st place – 1, 2nd place – 1, 3rd place – 1) based on the scientific nature, innovation, practical application potential of the work, and the students' ability to defend their projects.
At all stages of the competition, students from specialized secondary schools focusing on exact and natural sciences competed separately from regular secondary school students in Mathematics, Physics, Informatics, Chemistry, and Biology (i.e., separate prizes were awarded for both groups). However, for Mother tongue and literature, English, History of Turkmenistan, Geography, Ecology, and Robotics, students from both regular and specialized schools competed together.
