Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering Rising Stars), is the premier science and engineering competition for middle school students.
Society affiliated science fairs around the country nominate the top 10% of 6th, 7th and 8th grade participants to enter this prestigious competition. After submitting the online application, 300 top projects are selected and 30 finalists present their research projects and compete in team hands-on STEM challenges to demonstrate their skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. Finalists for the 2017 Broadcom MASTERS will be announced September 20, and winners October 24.
The 2017 Top 300 Broadcom MASTERS (formerly referred to as semi-finalists) were announced on September 6.
