Organised in partnership with Form the Future, the event offered young learners a unique insight into careers in science, technology, engineering and maths. Students met Qualcomm engineers and professionals, explored the company’s labs and workshops, and took part in hands-on Micro:bit coding challenges designed to spark curiosity and build problem-solving skills.
The event formed part of the wider Cambridge LaunchPad programme, which connects local employers with schools to deliver real-world STEM learning experiences.
“We were thrilled to welcome students from Fen Ditton and Marleigh Primary Schools to our Cambridge site. It’s so important to engage young people in STEM from an early age and show them how creativity, teamwork, and technology come together in the work we do every day at Qualcomm. We hope this experience has inspired them to keep exploring and inventing.
Carmen Fenton, Human Resources Business Partner from Qualcomm
“Qualcomm’s enthusiasm for inspiring young learners is fantastic to see. Cambridge LaunchPad is all about connecting education and industry, helping students understand the many exciting pathways open to them, and encouraging curiosity and confidence through hands-on learning.”
