Science Education has announced a new grant to give 10 K–12 or
college educators funds this year to promote STEM literacy. Those
awarded will receive their choice of $1,000 worth of Vernier
technology, an annual license for Vernier Graphical Analysis Pro,
and three hours of virtual professional development.
The
grants are open to all K–12 and college educators actively teaching
at a U.S. educational institution who have not previously won a grant
from Vernier, and they do not need to be a current Vernier customer
to apply. Applicants must describe how they will implement the
Vernier technology in their classroom or laboratory, their
educational institution’s needs, and how the funding will enhance
their instruction and engage students. Applications are due by Nov.
30, 2022, and grantees will be announced Dec. 12, 2022.
“...This
new grant program will recognize innovative educators who are
engaging — or seeking to engage — their students in hands-on,
socially relevant STEM learning through the creative use of our
technology,” said John Wheeler, Vernier CEO.
