Learning Platform Intern 2019

It was amazing getting to solve interesting problems, make an impact, and work with brilliant people all at the same time.

Madeleine C.

Platform Infrastructure Intern 2022

I joined KA because I wanted to work on a team where everyone is passionate about the mission. I've gotten that, and I have been able to work with incredibly accomplished and skilled engineers who take the time to teach and mentor me.

Ishani P.

Districts Intern 2022

KA challenged me to continue to be curious outside of student life. Everyone's eagerness to learn, kindness, and willingness to help have changed how I contribute to industry.

Ioana C.

Test Prep Intern 2018

What made my Khan Academy internships really special were how open everyone was to collaborating and sharing their expertise. I grew a lot as an engineer on the two teams I worked on, but I also was able to learn about other areas like design, project management and learning science.

Angel W.

Test Prep Intern 2022

I chose KA because I've used the product since elementary school, and I really wanted to give back and help to educate other students from around the world. After coming here, I realized how nice and supportive everyone here has been to help me continue learning (yet also have a sustainable work/life balance) and make a difference in the world . It's also been so much fun getting to know the other interns!

Hunter L.

Classroom Team Intern 2021

As my first software engineering internship experience, I feel like I couldn't have asked for a more fostering environment … One of the most valuable pieces of being a part of Khan Academy is the people that you get to be surrounded by.
