Grant Opportunity

Vernier Software & Technology and the National Science Teacher’s Association (NSTA) invite educators to submit their creative projects using data collection to teach science topics for the Vernier Software & Technology/NSTA Technology Awards. The awards, valued at $3000 each, are given to up to seven educators who are judged to have created the best inquiry-based, hands-on learning activities using data-collection technology interfaced with computers, graphing calculators and other handheld devices such as the Vernier LabQuest.

Each award consists of $1,000 in cash, $1,000 in Vernier equipment, and up to $1,000 toward travel and expenses for attending NSTA’s 2011 National Convention.  Entries are due by November 30, 2010 and will be judged by a panel of experts appointed by NSTA.  Educators can be nominated or self-nominate for the awards.

Access to the online application and guidelines are available on the Vernier web site at www.vernier.com/grants/nsta.html
