I went to Carnegie Mellon.

When I first moved to New York, all I did was musical theater. That's what I studied at Carnegie Mellon University.

I majored in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley and worked as a software developer for a couple of years. Then I taught high school computer science for over a decade and a half in Oakland, California.

When I was in college at Carnegie Mellon, I wanted to be a chemist. So I became one. I worked in a laboratory and went to graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh. Then I taught science at a private girls' school. I had three children and waited until all three were in school before I started writing.

I went to college in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University... studied acting there. Then I went to New York for about five years. I moved out here about 10 years ago.

I was a directing student and a production design student at Carnegie Mellon. I went in as a production design student and became a directing student.

Anyway, when I was a kid, I dutifully went to the Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College.

I always wanted to be an actor, even as a little kid. So I went to drama school in the late '60s at Carnegie Mellon.

I'm a contract computer scientist by trade, but I'm the founder of something called the Tinkering School. It's a summer program which aims to help kids to learn how to build the things that they think of.

I grew up studying music. I went to conservatory.
