Meet the CODAP team
CODAP is a free, open-source, web-based app developed and improved for over a decade by dozens of software engineers, QA testers, bug finders and fixers, and others who are part of our growing community.
Bill Finzer has been leading the development of CODAP for over ten years and has been a data nerd for decades.
Dan Damelin has been a significant contributor since the start, co-leading CODAP and directing a variety of projects that have integrated CODAP. He has led numerous professional development workshops, helping educators and curriculum developers join the data revolution!
Zac Opps is helping us spread the word and reaching out to the community as we continue to build an open-source ecosystem of educators, researchers, and developers.
Lead code developers include Kirk Swenson and Jonathan Sandoe, who have taken ideas and made them into code. Evangeline Ireland tested thousands of lines of code over the years as the main QA tester.
Additional significant contributions have been made by Ethan McElroy, Piotr Janik, Teale Fristoe, and Evangeline Ireland. See the GitHub repo for a full list of contributors. We are grateful to the dozens of research partners and other contributors of code, ideas, and design directions.
