Vernier Software & Technology is committed to helping educators develop the next generation of engineers and scientists. To show our support, we are announcing the Vernier Engineering Award. This annual award will be presented to one educator who is innovatively using Vernier products to introduce engineering concepts or engineering practices with students.
The winner will receive $1,000 in cash, $3,000 in Vernier products, and $1,500 toward expenses to attend an upcoming National Science Teachers’ Association (NSTA) STEM conference or an upcoming American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) conference.
Applications are due by February 15th each year. Information about the award recipient for 2021, and details for the 2022 Engineering Award will be posted in early March, 2021.Â
2020 Award Winner
Current instructors from any STEM subject area in middle school, high school, or college who are using Vernier products with students to introduce engineering concepts or engineering practices are eligible to apply. Applicants may not have won previously at their school.
Applications will be judged on educators’ innovative and engaging project ideas, the engineering concepts or practices being taught, and the ease for other educators to replicate the project with their own students. A panel of judges comprised of educational professionals from Vernier Software & Technology will judge educator submissions.
Applications are accepted through February 15th each calendar year. Winners will receive a notification via email and will be announced in early March on the Vernier website and on Vernier social media channels.
