For Nominees
The application for the 2022 Broadcom MASTERS is now closed. Congratulations to all the entrants!
Nominees are chosen among the top 10% of the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade competitors at a Society-affiliated science and engineering fair in the United States.
The online application asks questions about your science or engineering fair project and your understanding of science and engineering in everyday life. Students must complete and submit their online application and parental/guardian permission form by the June 15, 2022 deadline to officially enter the national competition.
All nominees who submit an application will receive a T-shirt, bumper sticker and other prizes, including a special edition booklet of Invention and Innovation articles from Science News for Students, courtesy of The Lemelson Foundation. Entrants join the Society alumni network and are officially Broadcom MASTERS alumni!
Entries are judged during the summer and 300 top projects will be announced on September 7, 2022. 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.
