Introduction
 Peter Kuperman, founder and CEO of Hatch Canada,
uses his passion for education to teach kids to code. One
of his inspirations for his business was Khan Academy.
After relocating to California, Peter Kuperman dedicated
a year and a half to assist in the development of that
innovative online learning program, contributing
JavaScript-based mathematics exercises and an early
iteration of Khan’s teacher resources pages.
Khan Academy offers free, self-directed instruction in
computer coding, programming, and animation. It opens
up whole new worlds for people of all ages through
classes in math, science, art, and economics. Students
can also benefit from its test preparation section.
Studying for the SAT, GMAT, MCAT, and other exams just
got easier and more streamlined.

Khan Academy
 Khan Academy’s mastery-based approach was based on
founder Salman Khan’s tutoring of his many cousins.
Eventually, someone said, “Why don’t you just put it on
YouTube?” and an educational game-changer was born.
In 2011, with 50 million lessons already delivered, Khan
appeared on The Colbert Report to promote his system.
The basic idea behind Khan Academy is that anyone,
anywhere, can teach himself or herself anything. Schools
have used Khan Academy’s thousands of free video
lessons to supplement in-class instruction. In a recent
study commissioned by the Gates Foundation, one-third
of students in underserved K-12 schools said they
enjoyed math more after using Khan Academy lessons.
