I'm interested in using Khan Academy at my school to completely change the educational experience, as Sal Khan suggests in his Youtube video "Re-imagining education using Video". However, I might want some additions to the platform. I saw a post about partnering with Khan Academy to create content, and I read that currently Khan academy isn't partnering for content creation. I guess I have 2 questions:

1- Is it possible to partner with Khan Academy in order to add custom features to the platform (so not for content creation)?

2- If the answer to 1 is no, is the source code available so that my software engineers can add new features? I see that Khan academy has its code on Github (https://github.com/Khan) but I read a post that says that a lot of the source code is public, but some of it is private. So can I have a general idea of what kind of code is available and what it allows me to modify? There are way too many repos on Github and there doesn't seem to be a guide about this.

That's a great initiative. The thing that I never understand is why do you want to partner or create a non-profit or profit organization that offers education when you have KA. It doesn't cost you anything to just implement it in the classrooms and incite children to use it.

@Pablo Sánchez Thank for your reply, but it doesn't quite address my questions.

I have been requesting, with no luck, that the website be open sourced for years. Many of the widgets used in KA are in github, but the website itself is not.

I have SOOOO many improvements I want to help make to the site. Keep pressing them for this, maybe they'll do it.

Hello, mdanb!

Thank you so much for trying to contribute to Khan Academy by offering your help to some features for our platform!

Though Khan Academy does have quite a few open-source repositories available at GitHub, our site is not fully open-source. Nonetheless, I've shared your request of making Khan Academy an open-source site with our team, and it will be part of our conversation as we plan the future of Khan Academy.

In addition, I'd like to thank you for the feedback you're providing to us. We're grateful to have users like you, people that care about Khan Academy and are looking for different ways in which we can improve their experience!

Thank you for helping us improve Khan Academy!
