Made to Move Communities™
Мы вдохновляем и поддерживаем молодых новаторов в реализации решений по инклюзивной мобильности для представителей меньшинств
Наша компания была создана, чтобы приводить этот мир в движение, поэтому мобильность занимает центральное место в нашем видении: мы стремимся предоставлять людям свободу взаимодействия и возможность процветания в более высоком, быстром и интеллектуальном мире.
С помощью нашей новой программы мы привлекаем молодые умы к созданию новых решений в сфере мобильности для различных людей по всему миру. Кроме того, программа решает и другую важную задачу: предоставляя учащимся практический опыт работы под руководством наших экспертов, мы надеемся разжечь в них любопытство и интерес к естественным наукам, технологиям, инжинирингу и математике (STEM — science, technology, engineering, math).

Year 3: Mobility Solutions to Reduce the Impacts of Climate Change
Today, more than ever, climate change poses a significant threat to the safety, prosperity and wellbeing of people and communities around the world. For the third year of Made to Move Communities™, we’re empowering the next generation of innovators to be a part of the solution. Otis colleagues will mentor 250+ students across the globe to develop solutions to the climate change issues impacting mobility today for the benefit of generations to come. Watch the video to learn more.

Sharon (Taiwan)
Sharon, a project supervisor at Otis Taiwan, had seen firsthand the mobility challenges faced by her aging parents, so she "immediately volunteered for the Made to Move Communities student challenge to impact the elderly community and educate young generations."
As a mentor, she used her skills and experience to guide students in developing STEM-based solutions to help older populations in Nanzih Kaohsiung move around. Inspired by a conversation with one student's grandmother, Sharon's team designed a smart container for getting drinking water from local water stations more easily.
One of Sharon's favorite memories from the experience was observing the "tremendous changes her students showed – from hesitation to confidence" as she guided them through systematic thinking and problem-solving.
Xuewei (China)
Xuewei is an electrical engineer with Otis China and a mentor in the Made to Move Communities global student competition. Together with his student team, he rose to the challenge of designing STEM-based solutions to improve mobility for older populations in their community - a pressing issue for a country where almost one-third of the population is over 60.
Xuewei reflected on the experience and his impressions of the next generation:
"Every time I exchanged ideas with the students, they were fully engaged. They kept proposing new ideas and finding suitable solutions and technical support for those new ideas. I personally learned more about how young people freely use and implement new technologies and the passion they show when applying technologies to new projects."
Carlota (Spain)
Carlota, a purchase technician at Otis Spain, imagines a future in which older populations can move around without barriers. This year's Made to Move Communities challenge presented her with the opportunity to make this dream a reality.
Carlota's team designed an innovative tech device called LAGUN, which means friend in Basque, to help older people in their community move around, access healthcare, and reduce required paperwork.
She recalls her students' humility when interviewing older people about their mobility challenges. And the pride they felt in presenting their solution.
Nicole (Colombia)
Nicole is an electrical engineer with Otis Colombia. She was also a passionate mentor to local students, sharing her knowledge and guiding their creativity throughout the challenge. Nicole was motivated by the competition's focus on improving mobility for older populations because she wants to ensure they have the freedom to continue living independently and enjoying the world around them.
She appreciates the energy and empathy her student team brought to this challenge, leaving her both inspired and hopeful for the next generation's contributions.
Mentors like Nicole and programs like Made to Move Communities are essential to closing the skills gap, the widest in Latin America. In Colombia, 50% of employers struggle to hire people with the right skills.
Past Made to Move Communities™ challenges
Mobility Solutions for Older Populations
The number of older adults is projected to double to 1.5 billion in 20501. For the second year of Made to Move Communities, we tapped young minds and applied creative thinking to help cities of the future adapt and meet the needs of this growing population. Across 14 countries and territories, teams of Otis employee mentors and students created STEM-based mobility solutions ranging from connected wheelchairs and smart escalators to a device improving access to local water stations.
Watch the video to learn more.
Mobility Solutions to COVID-19
In its first year, Made to Move CommunitiesTM engaged schools in Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Russia, Spain, the United States and Singapore. Under the mentorship of Otis employees, nearly 100 students spent eight weeks developing STEM-based solutions to address mobility challenges in their communities – particularly those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why Made to Move Communities™
Поощряем решения в сфере мобильности на базе STEM
Фундаментом нашей стратегии корпоративной социальной ответственности — «Made to Move Communities» — является стремление сосредоточить усилия на решении двух задач, которые можно считать жизненно важными не только для компании Otis, но и для общества, в котором мы живем и работаем: на развитии инклюзивной мобильности и на создании новых возможностей для детей и молодежи за счет образования в сфере STEM.
Эта ежегодная программа призвана собрать в одном месте учащихся со всех уголков мира и предложить им найти творческие и высокотехнологические решения для устранения физических, географических и финансовых преград в мобильности, с которыми часто сталкиваются люди, с которыми мы рядом живем: коллеги, друзья или знакомые.
Инклюзивная мобильность и благополучие
Сотрудники компании Otis понимают, насколько мобильность важна для благополучия людей, ведь именно она позволяет вести здоровую и продуктивную жизнь. Немногие компании могут претендовать на большую роль в создании высокотехнологичного мира: поэтому наши инновационные решения продолжают менять образ жизни людей.
Но сегодня многим людям все еще недостает надежных, доступных и удобных средств передвижения, которые позволили бы им добраться до нужных мест назначения: до школы, офиса, медицинского учреждения или продуктового магазина.
Мы верим в то, что новые технологии, такие как искусственный интеллект, продвинутая робототехника и другие интеллектуальные сетевые устройства, обладают достаточным потенциалом для решения этих проблем и обеспечения инклюзивной мобильности для каждого человека, где бы он ни находился.
Участвуя в программе «Made to Move Communities», учащиеся смогут взглянуть на открываемые этим захватывающим будущим перспективы, а также получить стимул для реализации своих возможностей в формировании не только того мира, в котором мы живем сегодня, но и будущего мира для новых поколений.
Подготовка сотрудников 21-го века
Прогнозируется, что к 2030 году дефицит специалистов, обладающих необходимыми навыками в сфере STEM, составит целых 50 миллионов человек.
В эпоху технологического прорыва Industry 4.0 – технологии будут связаны со всеми видами работ, включая производство и многие другие профессии. Для подготовки к стремительно приближающимся изменениям в привычной рабочей среде, учащимся необходимо обладать обширными знаниями в учебном курсе и дисциплинах STEM: естественных науках, технологиях, инжиниринге и математике.
По приблизительным оценкам, из-за недостатка квалифицированных кадров практически 50 миллионов рабочих мест могут оказаться вакантными к 2030 году.2 Программа «Made to Move Communities» является лишь одним из способов сокращения этого дефицита, дополняющим существующие школьные программы практическими занятиями с экспертами-наставниками компании Otis — людьми, страстно увлеченными технологиями и стремящихся помочь в воспитании специалистов нового поколения.
