During our recent trip to Los Angeles for hte Finding Dory premiere and press junket we had the opportunity to learn all about the the Khan Academy and their partnership with Pixar to bring you Pixar in a Box, where you can discover how the concepts you learn in school are used to tackle creative challenges at Pixar.
