About the Designer

Paul learned to program when he was just a kid in order to create his own computer games. He especially liked making games for graphing calculators
and then passing them around to other kids at school. He went on to get a PhD in Analytical Chemistry before becoming a professor at the University of Minnesota, where a National Institutes of Health grant and led a research group. The work was heavy on the programming/computational side, which made it hard to find students for the group, because programming is a rare skill among chemists and biologists - or just about anyone other than computer scientists. Paul spent a lot of time teaching his students how to program, and often saw other faculty and students pass up good research ideas because they couldn’t make software to do what they needed. So he decided to invent a simple, fun solution for teaching basic coding.
