Pixar in a Box gives students a new way to engage with key academic concepts and see how creative these concepts can be.” “Sparking student interest in math and other academic fields is a key part of that, and we’re delighted to collaborate with Pixar to achieve this goal. “Our mission at Khan Academy is a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere,” said Sal Khan, Founder and CEO of the not-for-profit Khan Academy. Although designed especially for students in middle and high school, these resources are available to learners of all ages, completely free of charge. Through a series of video lessons, interactive exercises, and hands-on activities, students will discover how the academic concepts they learn in school enable Pixar filmmakers to create new worlds, animate unique characters and tell stories through animation. – Today, Pixar in a Box – a new online resource that explores the academic concepts behind Pixar Animation Studios’ creative process – goes live on.

She has asked about other topics and also completed the Hour of Code module.

We have kept up with using it periodically over the summer and she has really shown progress in math. My daughter started using Khan Academy for math last school year.
