Great work! Congratulations to all our 2020 winners!
We are excited to share these videos of some of our 2020 Winners’ work on our website this year. Normally, Synopsys Championship holds an in-person Winners’ Circle in the fall, celebrating our winners from the fair in March. Each attendee is introduced and shares a few words about his/her project. Given the limitations of in-person gatherings this fall, we decided to honor and celebrate our winners by showcasing their work online. Hope you will enjoy and be inspired by these videos.
