    Khan Academy has had exercises for a while now. It's probably one of the best open source projects to work on, in terms of impact and how easy it is to contribute. You only need to…

    I'm a sophomore in a high school that allows, but does not require, a laptop. Two of my sisters go to separate schools which require them. I can't speak much about how well that ha…
