How Qualcomm is empowering the next generation of workers with STEM education paid gradsoflife
. Many alumni go on to study engineering or computer science, eventually pursuing internships and jobs in the field at companies like Qualcomm.For example, Jordan Burklund, a FIRST alum, credits his passion for robotics and engineering to FIRST and Qualcomm’s support. Through the FIRST Tech Challenge, he was a key member of his team and worked on a project to drive the teams robot remotely from anywhere in the world.
FIRST and Qualcomm’s partnership creates a robust, early foundation of interest and exposure to STEM education to students, opening the field to a more diverse group. For the past several years, Qualcomm has focused their team funding on supporting all-female, diverse teams like the first ever all-female FIRST Tech Challenge team from Korea, who went on to qualify for the FIRST Championship.
Qualcomm’s support brings invaluable resources and opportunities to FIRST participants, and their collaboration with FIRST brings together like-minded individuals transforming the STEM field and workforce. By making STEM fun and approachable, students are more inclined to learn about robotics and meet real engineers who mentor them on practical skills.
