At the age of 13 in 1981, Parallax founder, Chip Gracey had his first major introduction to programming and electronics: the Timex Sinclair computer. Chip’s influential junior high computer teacher Bob Wofford in the Winston Churchill Intermediate Sacramento, California school put Chip to work teaching the other students. It was apparent that Chip’s technical skills were a passionate interest. Chip’s father Chuck brought home an Apple II computer and a green text monitor for the weekend.
