AI Resources for Students
- Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab: This program offers K-12 students the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities that help to develop foundational STEM skills, explore careers, and foster students’ interest in pursuing STEM. This standards-aligned program is offered throughout the year and is taught across the US through a network of Thinkabit Lab trained educators. Curriculum is now enhanced with AI literacy components through teacher training, resources on AI careers, and speakerships with engineers.
- FIRST Robotics Vision System: Qualcomm is releasing a new AI-compatible vision system for the 2025-26 FIRST Robotics season, giving high school students hands-on experience with AI-accelerated chips and edge AI applications. Launching later in 2025.
- Code.Org AI Foundations Curriculum: Qualcomm is proud to support Code.org’s Artificial Intelligence Foundations course, a free, teacher-led curriculum designed for high school educators. Code.org offers virtual and in-person professional development at no cost thanks to Qualcomm's support.
- Hour of AI Activities: Launching November 12, Code.org’s Hour of AI library will provide free, grade-level organized activities for educators and families. Qualcomm will join a nationwide push for engagement with the activities during Computer Science Education Week (December 8-12).
- STEM Next and Institute for a STEM Ready America: In collaboration with STEM Next, Qualcomm is working to co-design K-12 AI literacy content with curriculum experts, integrating it into out-of-school STEM programs and Career Connected Learning Frameworks. The initiative, which will launch in 2 pilot states, West Virginia and Ohio, will include launching field challenges, providing training and technical support to educators and generating best practices and case studies to inform national scaling.
- Experiential Robotics AI Education Kit: Qualcomm has signed on as the hardware provider for Experiential Robotics new AI kit for High School students. The initiative is in the very initial stages but is intended to enable high school students to run local models on affordable hardware, collaborate through open-source tools, and build real-world applications. Educators receive resources to guide students from silicon to services ensuring every learner can participate in shaping the future of AI.
AI Resources for Educators
- AI Literacy Training with AI for Education: Qualcomm partners with AI for Education to provide AI literacy training to Thinkabit Lab instructors nationwide. This initiative supports responsible adoption of generative AI in classrooms and will contribute to their goal of reaching one million educators.
- TeachAI Collaboration: Qualcomm is proud to collaborate with TeachAI to help advance AI Literacy in Education through its advisory committee. Through this committee, we support the AI literacy framework for primary and secondary education. This framework is a free resource for educators and stakeholders, that outlines AI competencies and learning scenarios.
