For the first time in ISEFs history due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Society for Science honored the more than 1,300 finalists of the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2020 by coming together virtually to celebrate science.

Congratulations to the 2020 Regeneron STS Winners!

Society for Science and Broadcom Foundation are proud to announce the 30 finalists in the 2020 Broadcom MASTERS® — the nation’s premier STEM competition for middle school students. The finalists competed in the first ever Virtual Broadcom MASTERS from October 16-21, participated in team challenges in addition to being judged on their science research projects.

Enjoy this compilation of articles sure to inspire pursuits in science, engineering and invention! Science News for Students, an award-winning online publication of the Society for Science, produced this special edition thanks to a generous grant from The Lemelson Foundation.

The top 300 Broadcom MASTERS are an interesting and diverse group of young people who not only excel in science, technology, engineering and math, but they also participate in a wide array of other activities. While it might not be surprising that 76 MASTERS are involved in science club, 129 participate in their local science or math Olympiad and 136 say they are involved in robotics, it is exciting to learn that nearly a third (96) are involved in student council, 65 participate in an art club and 36 are involved in a school publication.

The Top 300 MASTERS are listed in order by Fair ID.

The Top 300 MASTERS are listed in alphabetical order by last name.

Society for Science is pleased to present our 2020 Annual Report, Defending Science, which shares the extraordinary work we accomplished during a worldwide pandemic. In this report, we detail a year like no other. From equipping our readers with accurate information about the virus, to providing educators with resources to excite STEM students, to encouraging young people to conduct scientific research, our team engaged the wider public during a time when science could not have been more important.
