NDPA HIGH FIVES to our Broadcom Masters competitors Sarah C. and Collin S.  We know you’re going to do great!

Congrats to our Broadcom Masters Nominees Sarah C. and Collin S. who were selected to compete.  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 to compete in team hands-on STEM challenges to demonstrate their skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity.

Entries are judged during the summer and the 300 top projects will be announced on September 6, 2017. From these top 300 MASTERS, 30 finalists and one parent/guardian will win an all-expense-paid trip to the national finals in Washington, DC to showcase their projects, compete in teams and visit sites that celebrate innovation through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. See the Broadcom MASTERS website here: https://student.societyforscience.org/broadcom-masters-faq

NDPA is rooting for you both!  Good luck!
