By 2030, 3/4 of jobs will require advanced computing skills, but there won't be enough graduates to fill them. Teen years are crucial for career decisions, but education systems struggle to foster interest in coding. Educators feel unprepared to teach coding in schools. Worse, interest among girls drops from equal at age 12 to just 12% at age 14, losing almost half of the potential tech workforce.
imagi tools offer engaging experiences for teaching Python to 8-14+ year-olds both at school and at home. Our proprietary curriculum and tools maintain student interest by combining creative, social, and tangible experiences. The imagi Edu coding platform for educators includes ready-to-use lesson worksheets and slides, easy classroom management, and project tracking. Students ultimately create colourful pixel designs, and they can bring their unique art to life with the imagiCharm, a customisable and wearable gadget. Alternatively, kids can learn independently on the imagi app, with no parental support needed thanks to gamified learning levels. Designed iteratively with hundreds of girls and diverse educators, imagi aims to provide CS education that equips pre-teens with relevant skills and motivation to enter the tech industry. We aim to ensure that all kids have the chance to gain confidence and competence in STEM.
imagi's solutions benefit educators and children globally, with virtual training and learning content accessible worldwide. Our platforms have transcended borders, with 50k+ users in 100+ countries and educational partners in 26+ countries. The imagiCharm is available as an option, further enhancing scalability. imagi Edu is being developed for integration into various school subjects, with plans for expanded software capabilities. Our new Educator Ambassador program and teaching community help with reach and support for new educators. Future goals include undergoing formal impact evaluation processes, expanding the team, and ensuring platform optimisation for traffic, user-friendliness, safety, and skill-building effectiveness.
Anyone can download our consumer app to learn how to code independently. Kids may discover “imagi fun coding game” in their App Store, or maybe get gifted an imagiCharm by a parent.
Educators sign up for imagi Edu for free. Within minutes they create classrooms and student accounts, access Python lessons, and begin coding. We have 2 team members working with teachers to support whenever needed.
