Hyundai Motor Company Recruiting Participants for "Future Mobility School"

Recruitment Open to Elementary and Middle Schools Nationwide

Hyundai Motor Company announced on May 26, 2026, that it is now accepting applications from schools wishing to participate in the "Future Mobility School" program for the second semester of 2026.

The "Future Mobility School" is a student-led activity-oriented program developed by Hyundai Motor Company in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, marking the first time a private company has entered into such an agreement. The program is designed to help students grow into future leaders in the mobility sector by enabling them to learn about the development of the mobility industry and cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous driving and robotics.

Since its launch in 2016, the program has been implemented at 3,070 schools worldwide, including elementary and middle schools in Korea as well as schools abroad, reaching approximately 125,000 students and nurturing their dreams in future mobility.

The "Future Mobility School" stands out by moving away from traditional lecture-based teaching methods and instead provides educational kits such as autonomous mobility kits and mobility upcycling kits, enabling a variety of hands-on activities for each class.

The courses are structured into an elementary school program for fourth to sixth graders and both regular and short-term programs for middle school students. Depending on the curriculum, students are offered classes that provide a preview of changes in the future mobility environment through a diverse range of topics.

In the second semester of 2026, the elementary school program will focus on "A Sustainable Future Life Shaped by Future Mobility," the regular middle school program will cover "Future Lifestyles with Mobility," and the short-term middle school program will explore "The Evolution Towards Smart Mobility" as their respective themes.

In particular, the newly introduced "NEXO Autonomous Mobility Kit" for elementary students, available from the second semester of 2025, will help students understand the principles of sensors used in autonomous driving and enhance their engineering thinking skills by solving problems such as obstacle detection errors and control issues that occur during actual driving.

Schools interested in participating in the "Future Mobility School" for the second semester of 2026 can search for the "Future Mobility School" café on Naver and apply via the application link within the café by June 19.

A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, "In the second semester of 2026, the 'Future Mobility School' aims to provide classes that offer a preview of changes in the smart mobility environment," adding, "We will continue to expand the program to advanced technologies such as robotics and foster creative and cultural foundations so that young people can develop an interest in future technologies and explore potential career paths."
