Thirty Exciting Calls
听鈥淲辞飞.鈥�
鈥淥h my gosh!鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 very honored.鈥�
鈥渊补测!
鈥淭hat鈥檚 pretty awesome.鈥�
鈥淭hank you so much.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 speechless.鈥�
These are some of the things 京东影业影视传媒 & the Public staff, along with Broadcom Foundation Executive Director Paula Golden, heard last night when they called the Broadcom MASTERS finalists to let them know they had been selected. The students were chosen based on their science fair project and an application to the MASTERS鈩� (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars), a national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) competition for sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
Even though the calls disrupted activities, such as one nap and another shopping trip, the finalists were happy to hear the news. They were very excited, and often surprised, to learn they had been selected from the 300 semifinalists and would be competing in the nation鈥檚 capitol next month for a top prize of $25,000.
As one finalist said, 鈥淚 can鈥檛 wait to go to Washington!鈥�
