Vernier Engineering Contest Application
This engineering contest honors instructors of engineering and STEM using Vernier sensors and NI LabVIEW.
About this Award
Vernier Software & Technology is committed to helping educators develop the next generation of engineers and scientists. To show our support, Vernier will recognize three instructors, one middle school, one high school, and one college instructor, with the Vernier Engineering Award. This $5500 award will be presented to instructors who are creatively using Vernier sensors to introduce engineering concepts or engineering practices. This may be in conjunction with Vernier's Logger Pro software, NI LabVIEW software, LEGO NXT, VEX, or any other system incorporating Vernier sensors.
Award Prize
Each award will consist of $1,000 in cash, $3,000 in Vernier technology, and $1,500 toward expenses to attend either the 2014 NSTA STEM conference in New Orleans, or the 2014 ASEE conference in Indianapolis. Three awards will be given – one for middle school, one for high school, and one for college.
