Meet our Talent Search winners

Meet our Talent Search winners Our mission at Khan Academy is a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere - but we can’t do it alone. To reach more learners and cover more subjects, we need more explainers to create more content.That’s why we launched the Khan Academy Talent Search this May - to find great explainers and amplify their voices. About 4,000 folks submitted videos to the contest, sharing 8,000 lessons with learners around the world. The quality and creativity of these submissions blew us away!After reviewing all the entries, we’ve selected 10 promising winners:-  Dan Quinn, postdoctoral student in physics-  Dara Brady, fifth-grade teacher-  David Rheinstrom, editorial director at Leftside RightSide-  George Zaidan, freelance science video creator-  Grant Sanderson, recent graduate of Stanford University-  Guillaume Riesen, doctoral student in neuroscience-  James Portnow, video creator at Extra History-  Sage Simhon, high school student-  Sudhir Murthy, undergraduate student at the Univer sity of California, Riverside-  Tony St. John, chemistry professor at Western Washington UniversityLast week, we brought all the winners to California for an immersive workshop on creating videos and cultivating channels. These 10 incredible explainers visited the Khan Academy and YouTube teams and even took a selfie with Sal.Sound exciting?
