MIddle School Competition Alumni

The Society’s middle school science program was first launched in 1999 to encourage achievement and communication in science and math at a younger age and to serve as the nation’s premier STEM research competition for middle school students.

Today, and with the generous support of title sponsor and partner Thermo Fisher Scientific, Society for Science is pleased to host the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge.

Prior programs include the Broadcom MASTERS (2011-2022), Broadcom MASTERS International (2012-2022), the Society’s Middle School Program (2008), and the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge (1999-2007).
