The Broadcom Foundation characterizes digital literacy as the confident use of the full range of digital technologies, including basic knowledge of coding and responsible use of AI. These skills empower young people to be creative STEM problem solvers who can think critically, communicate, collaborate, be persistent, and become productive citizens in the digital world.

At the regional level, Broadcom Foundation sponsors Broadcom Coding with Commitment® at 50 regional science and engineering fairs, in which a participating student can receive recognition for a project and a Raspberry Pi kit for a project in any category that combines STEM Knowledge and Computation/Coding in the project’s research, design, or development and which expresses a passion for helping or improving one’s community.

The award takes into consideration access (or lack thereof) to STEM and computing tools to fairly weigh and consider innovative projects by under-resourced and underrepresented students whose access to STEM materials may be more limited than to other competitors.

“Our overreaching goal is for students in Arizona to see STEM everywhere. The new Broadcom Coding with Commitment® recognition rewards young people for being creators at a basic level and will honor students' passion to solve problems in their communities. That thinking is really beautiful.”
— Former CEO, Southern Arizona Science & Engineering Fair (SARSEF).

International Programs

Broadcom Foundation digital literacy programs in Code Clubs, Coolest Projects Global, sponsored science fairs, and allied programs including the National STEM Festival and Congressional App Challenge provide Broadcom Inc. engineers and staff opportunities to volunteer as role models, mentors, and judges in communities where they live and work.

Broadcom Coding with Commitment®

Sponsored Science Fairs Coolest Projects

At Broadcom Foundation-sponsored science fairs, Broadcom Coding with Commitment® teaches young people to use coding skills and responsible use of AI to solve community problems they care about that align with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

Raspberry Pi Code Clubs

Learn More

Broadcom Foundation is partnering with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote after school Code Clubs where children in grades 5-8 have optimal project-based learning time to develop the coding skills they need to become fully digitally literate.

Congressional App Challenge

Congressional App Challenges are district-wide challenges hosted by Members of the U.S. House Representatives for middle and high school students to compete in the district they live or attend school in. Students can use any programming language and any platform. There are no limits on application, theme, topic! Students can participate in teams of four.

Winning teams are invited to Capitol Hill to demo their apps to their Representatives at a celebration called #HOUSEOFCODE.

Wiki Education Outreach Program
