Digital literacy has become increasingly important for every individual to communicate, acquire an education, find meaningful employment, and be an active participant in our tech-driven society. To this end, Broadcom Foundation is teaming up with the Raspberry Pi Foundation and ScienceBuddies.org to promote their free online tools for children everywhere.
Through Code Clubs and foundation-sponsored science fairs, Broadcom Foundation encourages civic engagement through Broadcom Coding with Commitment®, which encourages middle schoolers to combine STEM with coding skills and responsible AI tools to solve community problems they care about that align with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Broadcom Coding with Commitment® teaches young people to act locally and think globally, opens opportunities for strategic collaborations with the STEM Learning Ecosystem, and increases volunteer opportunities for Broadcom Inc. employees around the world.

17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN
Inspiring Digital Literacy through Broadcom Coding with Commitment®
An important trend in science fairs and coding spaces is that young people are seeking to solve problems that impact them personally or their communities in areas such as health, sanitation, energy, climate change, and other challenges set out in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
Young people increasingly connect their science knowledge with technology to research and design solutions for these challenges.
In addition to encouraging young people to think globally when they act locally, Broadcom Coding with Commitment® illuminates how coding is both a language, skillset, and an invaluable tool for college and careers. Coding is an essential 21st Century+ skill along with critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and confidence
Broadcom Coding with Commitment® is only available to students in grades 5-8 participating in a Broadcom Foundation-supported competition or showcase, where they combine STEM Knowledge with Coding in the project’s research, design, or development in a project that expresses Passion for helping or improving one’s community.
The Sustainable Development Goals, also known as SDG’s, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Broadcom Foundation advocates coding to solve community problems students care about in order to encourage them to be digitally literate citizens who “think globally and act locally.”
