Crown Leadership
Sal Khan — Chancellor, Didasko
Founder of Khan Academy, which has trained more students than any institution in human history. He proved world-class education can be free. Now helping Liana Banyan prove teachers can own what they teach.
“Education should be accessible to everyone. Teachers should own what they build.”
HexIsle Integration
We’ve proposed a HexIsle curriculum unit for Khan Academy — teaching STEAM through water-powered physical computing. Kids learn physics by growing palm trees with hydraulics.
