In 2021, Broadcom Foundation established a new program for select competitions and showcase events called 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 such as health, sanitation, energy, climate change and other challenges set out in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
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.
The Broadcom Coding with Commitment is only available to 6th, 7th or 8th graders participating in a Broadcom Foundation-supported competition or showcase where they combine STEM Knowledge with Computation/Coding in the project’s research, design, or development in a project that expresses Passion for helping or improving one’s community.
