Synopsys Championship
January 29, 2016
The Synopsys Science & Technology Championship is a science fair held in the Santa Clara County region in March every year, to which upper school and middle school students can submit research via various research programs.
Students work on projects supervised by faculty mentors from a variety of scientific areas, including biological sciences, biomedical engineering, physical sciences and physical engineering, and then present their research in poster form at the fair itself.
Rajiv Movva (10), who has participated in Synopsys since he was in eighth grade, commented on the variety of experiences that he feels the fair offers.
“Synopsys is open to all different groups, and they also have this category specifically for registered research institutions,” Rajiv said. “If you put in time, you can be recognized for it in the same way that professional research would be at a university, so I think Synopsys is good because it provides an introductory stage to get your interest in science research solidified.”
Students will begin setting up for the fair this year on March 16, and the fair will take place on March 17.
