Broadcom Foundation is a Newport Beach, California-based public-benefit nonprofit corporation that provides funding to support organizations that promote education in the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).[1] The foundation also supports science fairs and competitions in conjunction with Washington, DC-based Society for Science & the Public, including Broadcom MASTERS, a national science competition for U.S. middle school students, and its international counterpart, Broadcom MASTERS International.[2]
The foundation is independent of its namesake, Broadcom Corporation, the subsidiary of Broadcom Inc. (formerly Avago).[3]
History
The foundation was founded in 2009 as a non-profit corporation with an initial $50 million investment from Irvine, California-based semiconductor chipmaker Broadcom Corporation, at the direction of Henry Samueli, the company's co-founder, who was inspired to become an electrical engineer in his middle school shop class [4] and Broadcom Chief Executive Scott McGregor, who cited science fair involvement as a factor for his own success.[5][6] McGregor was named the foundation's first president and chairman.[7][6] In 2016, Samueli was elected as chair and Paula Golden was installed as president.[8]
In September 2010, the foundation contributed $6 million to science fair organizer Society for Science & the Public to launch Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars), a national science fair program for middle school students in the United States.[1] Paula Golden, the foundation's executive director, was quoted in The New York Times describing the critical need for additional science fair and STEM education funding in the United States.[9] The MASTERS was unique in that it combined traditional science fairs with additional teamwork exercises for fair winners.[10]
In 2012, the foundation began funding graduate engineering fellowships at the University of California, Irvine's (UCI's) Henry Samueli School of Engineering.[11]
In 2016, the foundation established the Broadcom Fellows Student Research Workshop and Symposium, which provides fellowships at UCI and UCLA in the areas of computer technology and semiconductors.[12] In March, the foundation contributed to endow the Presidential Chair in electrical engineering and computer science at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering.[13]
Programs
The foundation contributes to a variety of programs to promote education in STEM fields. Programs include the Broadcom MASTERS middle school science fairs organized by Society for Science & the Public; the Broadcom Fellows Student Research Workshop and Symposium for students at UCI and UCLA; and Broadcom Presents: Design_CODE_Build, a program using the Raspberry Pi to teach middle school students to code, presented with the Mountain View, California-based Computer History Museum.[14][15][9][12] The foundation also funds a research fund at Tel Aviv University, and sponsors coding programs arranged by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.[16][17]
