While chemists are usually aware of the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration in chemical research they may be less aware of the possibilities of such collaboration in education. This article documents an ongoing collaboration between a chemist and computer scientist to co-supervise computer science students engaged in developing software for chemical education, highlights the benefits to both the chemistry and computer science students, notes some unexpected outcomes, and provides guidance to those planning such collaborations. The experiences described in this work should motivate chemistry educators to approach their colleagues in other disciplines with proposals for joint research projects. The collaboration described here initially resulted in the development of student-friendly software for operating a spectrophotometer. Recent co-supervised students have begun developing other software for chemical education.
