Can'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's A+ all around. If you're looking for a software internship, I highly recommend applying.
(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's up and coming tools.

Wonderful write-up and I'm happy to see some details and work that didn't make it into production get some attention here. It's often those exercises that we discard that make us better at what we do.
Sounds like a stellar internship!

Are internships still only for people still in college? That'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 "paid internships". (I don'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.

Nice write-up!
