Vernier co-founder, David Vernier, had been a high school physics and physical sciences teacher for eight years when he began programming his first Precision Timer software application. David's creativity and his passion for science education, combined with his wife Christine's business acumen, were the driving forces behind the early years of Vernier Software & Technology. Since those days, Dave and Christine – and now nearly 100 employees at Vernier Software & Technology – have been creating world-class data-collection solutions for teachers. Today, we offer a full line of award-winning interfaces, sensors, software, and curriculum that help engage and excite students through hands-on scientific exploration.
