2020 ANNUAL REPORT Amidst the global pandemic, students persevered in their pursuit of knowledge thanks to resourceful, dedicated educators, family members and the gifts of modern technology. I am optimistic that scientists will prevail in our war against COVID-19; and that young people will emerge from this historic, life-defining experience with unique insights and powerful new tools that enable them to propel science and engineering innovation forward and make our world a far better place. – Henry Samueli – Chairman of the Board, Broadcom Foundation Table of Contents I Broadcom Foundation Mission ...................................................................................................................................... 1 • Arizona Science and Engineering Fair................................................................................................................... 13 II 2020 Broadcom Foundation Leadership ................................................................................................................ 2 • Zimbabwe’s Buskers Science Festival Draws an International Participation .................................... 13 III Joint Message from Broadcom Foundation Chairman of the Board and President ..................... 3 • Pre-COVID 2020 Coolest Projects North America in Real Time at Discovery Cube OC ........... 13 IV Broadcom Foundation Goals ........................................................................................................................................ 4 • Coolest Projects Malaysia Takes Place Online ................................................................................................... 14 V Commitment to Developing 21st Century Skills and Citizenship through STEM ............................ 5 • COVID-19 Empowers International Coolest Projects to Expand Global Reach ............................... 14 VI Thought Leadership ............................................................................................................................................................. 6 • South Africa Communiversity Celebrates Pi5.................................................................................................... 14 • Advocating STEM Equity/Black Lives Matter ...................................................................................................... 6 • Foundation Website Offers Ideas for Digital Making at Home................................................................. 14 • National STEM Funders Network Participates in The Day One Project ................................................ 6 • STEM Funders Network Hires its First Executive Director ........................................................................... 6 X Community Partnerships and Global Citizenship ............................................................................................. 15 • San Antonio CoP STEM Partners from Across the Ocean and the Border ......................................... 7 • Bay Area Discovery Museum Goes Viral, with Partial Opening for Tiny Tots................................... 15 • STEM Learning Ecosystems Rally in COVID Times........................................................................................... 8 • Girl Scouts of Orange County in COVID Times................................................................................................. 15 • Children Now Sustains California STEM Ecosystems Through the Pandemic ................................... 8 • Discovery Cube in COVID Times............................................................................................................................... 15 • OC STEM Education Pipeline Goes Virtual............................................................................................................ 8 • Elevate [Math] in COVID Times ................................................................................................................................. 16 • Cal State East Bay Summer of Code Does an Online Refresh ................................................................... 8 • Pandemic Relief for Navajo/Hopi, OCCF, Bronx and West Coast........................................................... 17 • Israel’s STEM Ecosystem 2020 Community of Practice is a “Virtual Success”.................................. 8 • Broadcom Inc.
