Salman Khan is a trip. With an MBA from Harvard, and a slew of engineering, comp sci, and math degrees, he could easily be raking in major bucks, but instead he quit his day job in Sept 2009 to record educational videos for his self-started Kahn Academy.
The Khan Academy is an organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere. The web site isn’t pretty, but the content is receiving a lot of accolades, and a growing number of students are benefiting from Khan’s work. The IRS-recognized 501c3 not-for-profit organization is receiving increasing, deserved notice, such as the news piece below.
This FAQ page explains more. Stop by the site and check out one of Khan’s educational videos. Select from over 1100 videos (so far)!
Kudos to you, Mr. Khan, and best of luck with this inspiring endeavor.
