Thanks. I sent them an email offering to create interactive WebGL lessons. That would be a great match, as I can probably complete a whole lesson tomorrow night, and I have wanted to work more with WebGL for a while.



Hi, part-time Khan Academy employee here (I didn't get your email, just going off what you've written here).

Probably WebGL exercises are not quite what we're looking for because all of our exercises are supported on browsers down to IE8. That said, it's still possible to make fun, interactive exercises like these:

http://www.khanacademy.org/exercise/congruency_postulates

If you're looking to contribute using C and Python expertise, then KA exercises are probably not the best way to help out. (Although the backend for the website is open-source and written in Python; it's possible you could help out if you're looking for a long-term project.) If you're still interested in making exercises, then the best way to get in touch is in the chatroom here:

(This weekend the room is a bit empty due to the holidays but there are often some people around at all hours.)
