Today's teenagers have a difficult time deciding their future. Robotics, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) are advancing at a staggering pace. Innovation is not only transforming everyday life, but it is having a huge impact on the job market as well. New professions are emerging, new skills are becoming essential, yet young people still do not always understand how these future-defining technologies work, even though they use them on a daily basis.
Students gained practical knowledge and a sense of success
Organized in collaboration between the Bosch Group in Hungary, the Mobilis Interactive Experience Center in Győr and Széchenyi István University, the program series brought future scientific innovations to high school students through real-world issues. The activities were based on experiential learning, allowing students to discover the ever-changing world of robotics, sensors, programming and artificial intelligence by solving creative tasks.
The goal of the Bosch-Mobilis high school program, now held for the second time, was to develop young people’s digital skills, competencies and knowledge, supporting them in their further education and future career development. A total of 43 high school classes with more than 1,100 students from the counties of Győr-Moson-Sopron, Vas, Komárom-Esztergom and Veszprém participated in the program series, which ran from October 2025 to April 2026. The program not only provided inspiration and practical knowledge to the high school students, but also strengthened teamwork, creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Teachers of the students were also welcome to participate in the program’s closing event, specifically designed for educators, to experience the effectiveness of the methodology firsthand.
High school students developed a self-driving LEGO car, a robotic vacuum cleaner and an AI-based program
During the career orientation program, among other things, students learned the basics of robot building and programming: they “smartened” cars built from LEGO bricks with various sensors and codes to enable them to transport small loads and maneuver on test tracks. They also built a robotic vacuum cleaner of their own design using recycled materials and 3D-printed parts. Then, by installing sensors, they programmed the device to automate its operation – and put it to work right away on the spot as well. However, the students were most excited by the AI “special session,” where they learned the secrets of effective prompting: they not only chatted with the AI, but also used the system to design logos and create a system that recognizes hand gestures, emotions and errors, while gaining insight into machine learning and neural networks as well.
The Bosch-Mobilis high school program prepared students for the professions of the future
The Bosch Group in Hungary has long placed a strong emphasis on the education of younger generations and supporting their professional development. An important part of the group’s strategy is to contribute to the development of the Hungarian culture of innovation by collaborating with high schools and higher education institutions and to provide insight into the exciting opportunities available in technology and science careers. „As a leading technology company, we are constantly searching for answers to the challenges of the future. We believe that the professions of tomorrow require not only up-to-date knowledge, but openness, curiosity and practical experience as well. We would like to support young people in better understanding the changes taking place around them and in being more confident and prepared to make decisions about their future” – said Mátyás Pótsa, director of Innovation Ecosystem at Bosch Hungary, at the closing event of the Bosch-Mobilis high school program.
Bernadett Keszthelyi, CEO of Mobilis, emphasized regarding the collaboration: “The current generation of high school students will need entirely different skills and abilities in the job market than what the traditional education system prepares them for. Digital literacy and a technological focus will be essential in any job, not just in technical and engineering fields. Students will need to have new skills such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, project-centric thinking and collaboration, which from now on will not only be realized between people, but in many cases will also mean cooperation between AI and humans. We must prepare for this in a targeted manner: we need to teach young people how to use this exponentially growing technology in a conscious and critical manner, as today's students will most likely have to compete with more than just their fellow human peers in the future job market. Mobilis believes that this change in mindset must be embraced early, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to do so in collaboration with global companies like Bosch, who themselves consider innovative educational projects to be important and see value in this program.”
