Broadcom Volunteers – Dave Cosgrove
Volunteer Highlights
“My daughter won’t let me get away with not volunteering next year.”
Dave Cosgrove, R&D Engineer, AOD (Agile Operations Division) NetOps at Broadcom Inc., volunteered as a judge at the 2022 Utah Science & Engineering Fair and helped to select the recipient for a Broadcom Foundation-sponsored award called Broadcom Coding with Commitment® that recognizes students in grades 5-8 who combine STEM learning with coding to solve a community problem they care about that aligns with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Dave credits his decision to volunteer at his local science fair to his 11-year-old daughter who hopes to study at MIT someday.
“I had a feeling it would be a great opportunity to share with my daughter, and it did not disappoint!” said Dave. “We were both really inspired with the creativity and execution of the projects. I know my daughter’s mind was racing with new ideas, and her eyes lit up with excitement for her own future.”
There are not a lot of young women engaged in STEM in Dave’s community, so it was exciting to meet young women who were presenting serious research, he remarked.
“This is a rare opportunity to keep a pulse on what young minds think are worthwhile issues to address using technology. Every single submission that I reviewed provided inspiration,” said Dave.
