Three students from Ogden and Sandy won $16,000 in awards Tuesday at a national middle school STEM competition.
Sidor Clare, 14, and Kassie Holt, 13, and Mercedes Randhahn, 14, were selected in September from among 30 finalists in the Broadcom MASTERS for their projects involving science, technology, engineering and math. For the first time in the competition’s history, there were more female finalists, 18, than male, 12, according to a news release.
Clare received one of the Broadcom MASTERS’ top honors, the $10,000 Marconi/Samueli Award for Innovation, at a ceremony Tuesday in Washington, D.
