Chemistry professor Grisham applied to be a TTI fellow with a good sense of the computer programs he wanted to produce for his students. What he needed was help making his vision a reality. With TTI funds, he hired a programmer to create a library of three-dimensional models of molecules and various interactive programs that simulate chemical interactions. Using the interactive program , students drag one molecule to attach it to the appropriate site on another. Correct matches generate an animated sequence of the real-life reaction.
