MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology, and Engineering for Rising
Stars) is a national competition for 6th- 8th grade students designed to
inspire and encourage the nation's young scientists, engineers and
innovators.
To qualify for the Broadcom MASTERS,
students must place within the top 10% in a SSP-affiliated science fair.
Nominees then enter the competition by completing an application
explaining their science project and demonstrating their use of STEM
principles.
Finalists have the opportunity to
spend a week in Washington, DC showcasing their research projects and
competing as teams in hands-on STEM activities.
Semifinalists will be announced on September 3 and finalists will be announced on September 17, 2014.
In
2013, River Grace, 14, of West Melbourne, Florida won the $25,000
Samueli Foundation Prize for overall STEM excellence, mastery of STEM
principles during the weeklong competition, and his project on the rain
dance of radiated tortoises.
Broadcom MASTERS is a program of Society for Science & the Public, sponsored through 2016 by Broadcom.
