Development & HR Management team returned

the wheel. Eleven volunteers took part in repairing
roofs and fences, mowing the grass, and landscaping.
They also found time to walk and reward
the four-legged friends. Before the volunteering day,
a fundraising campaign was held, which made it
possible to purchase feed and treats for the dogs and
cats waiting for a new home. The employees left with
a good feeling and the conviction that their help truly
makes a dierence.
The Škoda EDU.Lab mobile technology lab became
the centerpiece of the pilot Maker Academy
project, which supported technical education
through workshops and hands-on demonstrations
in the Rychnov and Vrchlabí regions. Inside
the modern, fully equipped trailer, students and the

articial intelligence, and even the Unitree Go
robotic dog. The project focused on developing
STEAM education and connected schools with
experts through mentoring, community activities,
