The following students and their projects were nominated by the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair (WSSEF) for the Broadcom MASTERS competition. This is the largest number of WSSEF students ever nominated for this prestigious award. In these unprecedented times, the Broadcom Foundation and the Society for Science and the Public released the following statement:
Given these circumstances, the Society for Science & the Public and Broadcom Foundation have made the decision to modify our eligibility rules for the 2020 competition by opening the Broadcom MASTERS 2020 application to any middle school student who was registered at a Broadcom MASTERS affiliate fair this academic year.
The mission of Broadcom MASTERS has always been to recognize and honor middle school students who achieve in STEM, and to encourage young students to pursue their goals. We know this year has posed unique challenges to students, and we believe that students who have completed projects and wish to apply deserve the chance to do so.
This is a very high honor and we are extremely pleased that Broadcom MASTERS opened up their application process for the following WSSEF students. Students, please take advantage of this unique opportunity this year and follow the instructions you received.
