AI and Digital Advertising: job shadowing activity, June 2022

As part of the Jobs of the Future project, we are providing several different mobilities to give Youth the opportunity to explore different digital topics. We are working with a group of digital companies who have experience and expertise working in a field of Digital Tech. Each mobility will focus on a company and their work,  giving participants the chance to learn and explore workshops along the lines of a specific topic.

This first mobility, to take place in France, will be exploring the working of Medusa Digital in the fields of Artificial Technologies (AI), Machine Learning and Extended Reality (XR). Participatns will be able to take part in hands-on, Do-It-Yourself workshops which serve as an introduction to different careers that are possible in the Digital World. All activities will encourage problem and project-based learning and will be based upon Maker Education principles.
