Goals of Broadcom Coding with Commitment®
Educate how STEM knowledge and innovation helps protect, preserve, save, improve, or promote quality of life or nature.
Advocate Coding as both a language and design tool that all young people can use to advance their educational opportunities, careers, and life choices.
Inspire young people to “act locally and think globally.”
Sponsored Science Fairs
At Foundation-sponsored science fairs and Coolest Projects, the Foundation inspires young people to “act locally and think globally,” by empowering middle schoolers to use coding skills to solve community problems they care about that align with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

Coders of the Future
“I've always wanted to become a problem solver, and when I learned that I could make such incredible things to find solutions for numerous issues just by coding, I jumped straight into it.”
Swagatha Vishwanathan, Alameda County Science & Engineering Fair
2025 Broadcom Coding with Commitment® Recipient
“I like coding because you have full control over your work, with endless possibilities. There are no restrictions, just you and your imagination. It is almost like a blank canvas, and you are the artist who gets to choose what does what. And even when something doesn't work, it helps you learn, and it helps you work on your problem-solving skills.”
Vibisha Shanmugam, Northwest Science Expo
