The Concord Consortium was founded in 1994[1] as an educational research and development organization to create large-scale improvements in K-14 teaching and learning through technology.[2]

The company conducts research on improving science, math and engineering education with the use of technology. It developed the Vernier Software & Technology probeware for classrooms and mobile computers, created modeling software for genetics and molecular education, and developed a Web-based high school.

Located in Concord, Massachusetts, and Emeryville, California, the Concord Consortium employs 30 software engineers, scientists, education developers and other staff. President and CEO Chad Dorsey[3] has led the organization since 2008, following the longtime tenure of founder Robert F. Tinker. The Concord Consortium is overseen by a 10-member Board of Directors that includes educators and business people. The organization works in partnership with universities, museums and other educational organizations, including Tufts University, New York Hall of Science, University of Illinois at Chicago, McGraw-Hill Education and National Geographic Society. The Concord Consortium is supported primarily by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), the Noyce Foundation and Google.org.[4]
