Calling all middle school scientists鈥攁pply to the Broadcom MASTERS!
The Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology, and Engineering for Rising Stars) is the premier science and engineering competition for middle school students. In order to compete, around the country nominate the top 10 percent of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade participants. Nominees then complete an online application for a chance to compete at the national level.
Out of the entrants, the top 300 projects are announced in September.
