FIRST^® and Qualcomm Celebrate 20 Years of Partnership

FIRST^® is thrilled to celebrate 20 years of partnership with Strategic Partner, Qualcomm Incorporated. After becoming a FIRST sponsor in 2006, to significantly increasing their support as a Strategic Partner in 2016, to then further expanding their commitment as a season sponsor for several consecutive years, Qualcomm has continuously grown their support of FIRST to align with our global reach and mission to make STEM learning opportunities available to every student.

“FIRST is the reason I pursued engineering. Now I give back as a mentor and even utilized Qualcomm’s technology to develop a radio solution for FIRST^® Robotics Competition. We’re basically teaching students how to adapt to changing technology and break down problems into smaller problem sets they can easily solve.”

Kiet Chau, Senior Staff Engineer at Qualcomm Technologies & FIRST Alumni
