About Broadcom MASTERSBroadcom MASTERS® (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars), a program of Society for Science & the Public, is the premier middle school science and engineering fair competition.

SSP affiliated science fairs around the country nominate the top 10% of 6th, 7th and 8th grade projects to enter this prestigious competition. After submitting the online application, 300 semifinalists are selected. From that select group, 30 finalists will present their research projects and compete in hands-on team STEM challenges to demonstrate their skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity at the Broadcom MASTERS finals.

• Samueli Foundation• Science News for Students• Deloitte. • Allergan• Computer History Museum• Sally Ride Science

• Wolfram Research• Affiliated Regional and State Science &

Engineering Fairs• Parents, teachers and mentors
