Mobile roadshow brings AI to German youth

AI is taking the show on the road in the Rheinisches Revier region of Germany. “AI on Wheels – Shaping the future together” is a skilling campaign by fjs and supported by Microsoft, featuring a mobile roadshow including a purpose-built truck equipped with cutting-edge tools for digital learning and AI technology. Designed to be agile, innovative, and visible, the roadshow, reaching more than 10,000 people, opens access for young individuals in a rapidly changing technological landscape. The roadshow also aims to bridge gaps between traditional educational practices and the needs of a growing modern workforce, thereby better preparing youth for their future careers and employability.

The “AI on Wheels” initiative features a roadshow tour, hackathons, and interactive events. The tour will visit schools and educational institutions to nurture learning and discover local talent, all while encouraging students to consider future jobs in the field of AI and technology. On a broader level, roadshow events hope to build community support for the initiative by involving partners and local stakeholders. Microsoft will also be involved by providing volunteers during the roadshow efforts.

AI on Wheels strives to foster sustainable technology development in the communities that it reaches, ensuring that all regions can be competitive and adaptive in the dynamic and ever-evolving technology landscape.
