Educators all over the world are struggling to motivate students to take up technology-related majors and really to just learn in general. An Online Education start up known widely as Khan Academy, has a fantastic approach to this issue. “Computer Science is an intensely creative field,” says Shantanu Sinha, the President of Khan Academy. Sinha gave TechCrunch an exclusive look into their new education portal that will teach Computer Science fundamentals through interactive drawing. “We really wanted to focus on creating something that could inspire young children, and get them excited and motivated to explore CS further,” he continued. This interactive design is a major step for the website that has been almost based on YouTube lectures. Online Education is always supposedly getting what people call “revolutionary” ideas, which usually just happened to be someone else’s idea with an added feature. Often, it’s almost just a recycled version of our current education system in a digital format too. That said, the Khan Academy Computer Science project is what I would deem beyond what anyone else has thought of. I am majorly impressed.
