After an introduction from Klaidman, local educators learned the story behind the project and then received a live demonstration of Pixar in a Box from two of its creators вЂ“ Brit Cruise, Content Producer at Khan Academy, and Tony DeRose, Senior Scientist and Research Group Lead at Pixar.

Khan and Catmull officially unveiled Pixar in a Box at a special event yesterday evening on the Pixar campus in Emeryville, CA. We hope that it not only gives students a behind-the-scenes look at how our movies are made but also gets them excited about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) concepts.вЂќ

вЂњWeвЂ™ve wanted to provide free online resources for them, and Pixar in a Box makes that dream a reality. вЂњFor years, weвЂ™ve heard from teachers at every grade level interested in creating animation-based curricula,вЂќ said Elyse Klaidman, Director, Pixar University and Archives. By working with Khan Academy on Pixar in a Box, we hope to encourage the excitement of learning and creative thinking for middle and high school students and to provide the tools to do it.вЂќ вЂњIn my experience, creativity involves missteps and imperfections, which is one more reason it is important for every one of us to keep learning вЂ“ in order to remain flexible and keep our brains nimble. вЂњLearning makes us beginners again,вЂќ said Ed Catmull, President of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios. Pixar in a Box gives students a new way to engage with key academic concepts and see how creative these concepts can be.вЂќ вЂњSparking student interest in math and other academic fields is a key part of that, and weвЂ™re delighted to collaborate with Pixar to achieve this goal. вЂњOur mission at Khan Academy is a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere,вЂќ said Sal Khan, Founder and CEO of the not-for-profit Khan Academy.

The program is designed for those in middle and high school, BUT the program and all of the resources are available to anyone that wants to learn and all of it is completely FREE! I am excited to show this to my boys, they love animation and seeing behind the scenes of how movies and video games are made.
