On November 5, 2026, an educational field trip to the Sh. Chokin Kapchagay Hydroelectric Power Plant was organized under the supervision of Turdibuvi Kazakbayeva, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Third-year students of the “6B05203 – Hydrology” educational program participated in the visit as part of the “Hydraulic Engineering and Land Reclamation” course.

During the visit, students learned about the operating principles of the hydropower plant, the maintenance and operation of hydraulic structures, and electricity generation processes.
