Pixar in a Box

Pixar in a Box is a collaboration between Pixar and Khan Academy. Each topic begins with a design focused lesson which is appropriate for grades 5+, followed by a math focused lesson which is grade specific. Our lessons touch on concepts ranging from grade 4 through high school and beyond.
