On Tuesday, 7 October 2025, the institute Zavod 404 hosted a presentation of the project MOBI, a mobile technical workshop for the development of digital and technical skills. The project was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Local Action Group Za mesto in vas.
MOBI embraces a fresh, innovative approach to education: through a mobile workshop that visits places and communities to come closer to users, i.e. children, young people, retirees, and businesses, it enables access to modern manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, laser cutting and basic robotics. As such, it aims to fight digital exclusion and foster technical creativity in local communities.
At the event, the visitors tried themselves in solving technical brainteasers and doing practice exercises, learned more about how modern technological equipment works and discovered the programmes that will continue the work of mobile workshop once the project is completed. These programmes will include tech days for schools, digital literacy workshops for seniors, teambuilding programmes, and technical support for businesses.
The project brought numerous benefits to local community by offering opportunities to build inter-generational solidarity and promoting collaboration between businesses and schools. It also helped create new jobs and build technical skills of project participants.
The event proved that MOBI is not just about technological innovation but also about building bridges between people and serving as a place where knowledge and creativity meet on a path to a more inclusive, digitally literate future.
The project was implemented by the institute Zavod 404 that teamed up with Secondary School Domžale, Tourism Society Rača and company iHelp.
