Society for Science and Broadcom Foundation announced the Top 300 competitors in the 2022 Broadcom MASTERS® — the nation’s premier STEM competition for middle school students. Five Orange County Science and Engineering Fair students were named to this prestigious group.
Broadcom MASTERS is a competition for sixth to eighth grade students designed to inspire and encourage young scientists, engineers and innovators to continue with STEM studies into high school. Each year, thousands of middle school students across the United States earn nominations to the program, and finalists compete for over $100,000 in awards.
For Hussein Hirani, this is the second year that he was selected to the Broadcom MASTERS top 300.
The Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars®) seeks to inspire young scientists, engineers and innovators to solve the grand challenges of the 21st Century.
