The Telegram billionaire toured the campus, inspected dorms, and spent hours chatting candidly with the teens. He shared stories of his early coding adventures, school pranks, AI's potential, and biotech as a rising trend. Durov also met privately with 12 students he sponsored last year via a $350,000 donation, praising their Olympiad wins, hackathon triumphs, eco-IT projects, and a custom Telegram bot demo. School founder Aydyn Rakhimbaev called it a "historic day better than a birthday," joking on social media that "next is probably space." The event highlights Durov's philanthropy amid his upcoming attendance at Kazakhstan's Digital Bridge Forum on October 2. Source : 💌💌💌 Original post : 💌💌💌
