My internship on the Khan Academy iOS team

Can&#x27;t speak highly enough of the Khan Academy internship experience--I interned with Kasra last summer and it was a pretty incredible few months. From the team to the mission to the culture to the work itself, it&#x27;s A+ all around. If you&#x27;re looking for a software internship, I highly recommend applying.<p>(By the way: the Khan Academy iPad app actually shipped _today_. Congrats to everyone back at Khan HQ!)

Looking at that made me think about us back in the brick-and-mortar version of Khan Academy, us in the university. Our analogous tools like mastering physics and webassign, while they have improved, pale in comparison to Khan Academy&#x27;s up and coming tools.

Wonderful write-up and I&#x27;m happy to see some details and work that didn&#x27;t make it into production get some attention here. It&#x27;s often those exercises that we discard that make us better at what we do.<p>Sounds like a stellar internship!

Are internships still only for people still in college? That&#x27;s what I always thought, but I read some articles recently that indicated some programmers with 15-20 years experience are going around and working &quot;paid internships&quot;. (I don&#x27;t really understand the difference between that and a plain old contract.)

Does Khan Academy only support iOS and Apple? A quick search seems to indicate that they do not support Android.

Where can I find the source code for the scratchpad work. I would like to take a look at it to understand it better since this could be an excellent addon to an educational app I am building for my kids.

I tried playing the video of the scaling down video animation on safari on iOS and every time I closed the video it would immediately pop back up. I had to quit safari actually to get out of the loop.

These interactions look wonderful. Good on ya.

Nice write-up!
