For the first time, the Broadcom MASTERS 2020 finalists will be competing virtually from October 16-October 21. Each of the top 30 finalists will participate in a series of online team challenges that are designed to cover multiple areas of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø. In addition, they will be judged on their science research projects. Despite the struggles brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, these young scientific and engineering minds have continued to pursue their scientific research and hobbies remotely. In addition to their incredible academic accomplishments, the students are also involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. Learn more below!
