The Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology, and Engineering for Rising Stars) is a competition for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who participate in an SSP-affiliated fair with their science, engineering, or math project and are nominated to compete in the national competition.  Anabel Nevarez and Nicole Kerrigan have been nominated to compete and now must complete an online application where they will explain their SARSEF award winning science project and demonstrate their use of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles in the development of those projects.

Thirty Finalists will win an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. where they will compete for awards and prizes, including the top education award of $25,000.00 presented by the Samueli Foundation, a gift from Susan and Henry Samueli, the founder of Broadcom Corporation.  For more information go to http://www.societyforscience.org/masters/.

Congratulations, young women, and good luck with your hard work to prepare for the National Competition in Washington D.C.
