Khan Academy offers free devices and Internet access (for schools)

Hello,

We’ve heard from a lot of teachers that they would love their school to participate fully in LearnStorm but it has been challenging since many of their students don’t have enough access to the online content.

So we’re thrilled to announce some help for schools in the form of free devices (e.g., Chromebooks) and free home internet access!

Unlock our accessibility prizes for your school!

Here’s how it works: If ...

- A majority of your school's students are in the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program - Half of the eligible students at your school (those in grades 3-12) sign up for LearnStorm - Students do at least half an hour of work on their math skills in LearnStorm

Then the school will unlock free devices and home internet access for students:

- Google.org will fully fund classroom technology up to a value of $7,500 for smaller schools (for example this could buy one laptop cart plus 30 Chromebooks for a school) and up to $15,000 for schools with more than 300 students through DonorsChoose.org. - Internet Essentials from Comcast will fully fund 6 months of free home internet access for all eligible students and their families.

The first step is to reach out to your principal and teachers and help as many students as possible get started at Learnstorm2015.com. When your school unlocks this prize, we’ll reach out to your principal with next steps to claim!
