One of our own SMS students, 7th grader Faisal Syed, is one of 300 science fair semifinalists from around the nation to receive Broadcom MASTERS status.
Faisal participated in the Notre Dame regional science fair in February with his project entitled "The Correlation Between Feeding Antioxidants and Drosophila melanogaster Longevity."
Here are some facts about the 2017 Top 300 MASTERS:
- The Top 300 MASTERS hail from 236 middle schools in 39 states and represent 111 regional and state science fairs across the U.S.
- The Top 300 MASTERS were selected from more than 6,000 nominees and 2,499 applicants. Each application received three independent readings and evaluations by distinguished scientists, engineers and educators. Nominees qualified to enter the Broadcom MASTERS by being among the top 10 percent of the participants at their Society-affiliated science fairs.
The 30 MASTERS finalists will be revealed on September 20, 2017.
