Anthony Lupinetti, PhD
​Board President and 
​Lead Educator

Anthony Lupinetti is an East Coast native who has decided to make New Mexico his home.  Anthony serves as the Board President and is the lead classroom educator for Open Source Kids.

Anthony's formal training is as a chemist.  In 1994 he completed his B.S. in chemistry  at the University of Delaware.  After college, he fell in love with the Rocky Mountains at first sight and decided to pursue graduate work in chemistry at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO.  Upon completion of his Ph.D. in inorganic and physical chemistry in 1999, Anthony began as a postdoctoral research associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory.  This led into a permanent position as a Technical Staff Member in 2001.  At the Lab, Anthony began programming data collection and control equipment for experiments.  It wasn't long before he fell in love with programming and electronics.

While in St. Louis for a year while his wife, Joanna,  pursued advanced training in her field, Anthony started hardware/software consulting company called LupiTECH.  During this time, he worked on projects for a local business and on the development of teaching software for a national company.

After the birth of his two children, Anthony began to contemplate how to best teach them about the things he loves: computers, programming, and electronics.  From this exploration and volunteering at his children's school came the idea for Open Source Kids.
