This is the Invention Age, and over 30 years of Qualcomm’s mobile leadership has led to it. To celebrate this new age and inspire the next generation of inventors, Qualcomm put technology in student’s hands in a uniquely creative way.

To welcome the arrival of the Invention Age, McCann New York worked with Qualcomm to draw on Qualcomm’s long-standing partnership with First, a non-profit organization that engages kids in exciting, mentor-based, research and robotics programs that help them become science and technology leaders, to bring a diverse team of young competitors together to create an all-new Rube Goldberg Machine.

The hero spot features the STEM kids presenting the mesmerizing mechanical masterpiece in action, and shows that when collaboration and creativity meets Qualcomm Snapdragon technology, we can accomplish anything. The machine works it’s magic to ultimately spell out “Welcome to the Invention Age,” with dominoes.

In addition to partnering with the San Diego First Tech Challenge Chapter, Qualcomm and McCann New York also worked with domino art influencer Lily Hevesh and chain reaction machine influencer Steve Price to help build out the Snapdragon-powered machine.
