AI City Rio and Technological Education in Schools

The advancement of AI City Rio reinforces a strategic question for schools: how to prepare children and teens for a future in which technology, Artificial Intelligence and innovation are already part of essential training?

The future of technology education has already begun

Rio de Janeiro is positioning itself as one of the main technology and Artificial Intelligence hubs in Latin America through the AI City Rio project, an initiative that seeks to transform the city into a reference in innovation, technology, startups, data and digital development.

This movement doesn't just impact technology companies. It also directly influences how children and teens will need to prepare for the future.

Today, parents, guardians and schools are beginning to realize that teaching just the basics of computer science is no longer enough.

The new generation will need to develop skills such as:

Computational thinking;
Applied creativity;
Problem solving;
Programming;
Artificial Intelligence;
Automation;
Prototyping;
Entrepreneurship;
Application development;
Maker culture.

In this scenario, schools that are able to incorporate technology in a practical and modern way become increasingly valued by families.

Technology stopped being a trend and became a necessity

For many years, educational technology was treated as something complementary.

Today, it has assumed a strategic role.

With the expansion of Artificial Intelligence in the market, parents' concerns about how to prepare their children for professions that don't even exist yet are growing.

At the same time, companies are starting to look for professionals with skills related to:

AI;
Programming;
Automation;
Data analysis;
Digital creativity;
Development of solutions.

In other words: technological training begins long before college.

The challenge of schools

Many educational institutions already have educational robotics in their curriculum.

However, there is a new demand emerging:

How to expand the technological offer without replacing current suppliers or making large internal investments?

This is exactly My Robot Barra da Tijuca's proposal.

Our objective is not to compete with existing pedagogical projects, but to complement the school's technological ecosystem through modern extracurricular courses aligned with new market demands.

How My Robot can complement the school's portfolio

My Robot Barra da Tijuca offers technology courses for children and teenagers in a practical, creative and hands-on format.

Projects can be offered during school hours, within the institution itself, without the need for large investments in a laboratory or specialized team.

Among the topics that can be worked on are:

Applied Artificial Intelligence

Practical introduction to AI, responsible use of technology, creation of prompts, automations and development of critical thinking.

Application Development (App Developer)

Application creation, programming logic, basic UX and construction of digital solutions.

Programming and Automation

Development of logical reasoning and creation of interactive projects.

Maker Culture and Prototyping

Learning based on construction, experimentation and creativity.

3D printing

Modeling, creation of parts and development of physical projects.

Business & Innovation

Entrepreneurship, creativity, problem solving and applied innovation.

Benefits for the school

By offering complementary technology courses, the school:

Expands your competitive advantage;
Adds value perceived by those responsible;
Strengthens your image of innovation;
Brings students closer to the professions of the future;
Increases student engagement;
Modernizes your educational portfolio.

All this without the need to replace current suppliers.

Opportunity for schools in Barra da Tijuca and region

Barra da Tijuca, Recreio, Jacarepaguá and the West Zone of Rio are home to families with a strong interest in education, technology and innovation.
