Yes! No previous programming experience is needed. Both the imagi apps and the imagiCharm have a low barrier to entry and provide endless opportunities and challenges – meaning they can be enjoyed by everyone.

We have free mobile apps (imagi), a web platform and tablet app for educators (imagi Edu), and hardware (imagiCharm)! All the learning content and curriculum featured has been made by our team as well.

We are focused on inspiring young girls and teaching kids ages 8-13+ (as well as supporting their educators). But everyone is welcome to learn to code with us!

We currently offer tools in English and Swedish. Basic patterning + logic and typing skills are be required to code in Python.

We love involving our community in everything we do! If you are looking to join our team, you can check our job openings on the Careers page. Please also follow us on LinkedIn.

If you have an idea for a collaboration or want to work with us for a school project, we would love to hear from you! In either case, please reach out to us at sayhi@imagilabs.com!

Our tools teach introductory computer science concepts and the Python programming language in a fun, tangible, and visual way. You will learn how to create different shapes, and animations in the 8x8 pixel world while learning about fundamental concepts such as variables, control structures, functions, objects, and much more!

The imagiCharm is a wearable, programmable accessory that can be attached to backpacks, bags or used as a keychain. Its RGB LED screen can be coded to light up to create patterns, shapes, and animations. The imagiCharm is programmed from the imagi mobile app through Bluetooth. It is an educational and fashionable device that teaches programming in a tangible and visual way!

Kids ages 8-13+ enjoy our learning tools. We have seen some 6 year olds and even adults rocking the imagiCharm too!

Check out our Get Started page for a step-by-step guide on how to get started once you've recieved your charm.

The imagiCharm uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to communicate with your smartphone or tablet. The designs and animations that you program in the imagiLabs app can be uploaded and displayed on the imagiCharm using its RGB LED matrix.

Web
imagi Edu platform

The same button is used for turning on and off. Short press to turn on and long press to turn off.

The imagiCharm can be programmed from the imagi mobile app or from the imagi Edu web platform for schools.

The imagi mobile app includes interactive tutorials that start from zero as well as a community to share the learning journey with! The tutorials teach introductory computer science concepts and Python programming in a fun, visual and tangible way. The in-app community is there to answer questions and help you out along your journey!

The imagi Edu platform features lessons (worksheets and slides) to learn from.

To connect to your imagiCharm, first you need to make sure that Bluetooth is turned on. Location services also need to be turned on for the Bluetooth to work.

Then, in the imagi app, go to the Connect section and tap on the name of your imagiCharm in the table. The name of the imagiCharm is its color and the number that it displays after you turn it on. Turn it on with a quick click of the button.

When you connected successfully you should see a check-mark next to the name of the imagiCharm and the LED matrix on the imagiCharm will display a Bluetooth sign.

If you are encountering any problems make sure that:

- the imagiCharm is charged

- the imagiCharm is not connected to another device (phone or tablet)

After successfully debugging your code, tap the yellow "Upload" button and then the purple heart.

If you were not connected to an imagiCharm, you will be asked to connect to one in this step. Once your project is uploaded, you should see a "Successfully uploaded" message on the screen and your project should appear on the imagiCharm's LED matrix.

For animations with many frames, the upload can take up to 30 seconds.
If you are encountering issues, try restarting your imagiCharm. You can also try restarting the app but make sure to save your project beforehand so you don't lose your work!

To start off, make sure your imagiCharm is charged. Insert the micro USB cable into the imagiCharm’s charging port.

While the device is charging, the indicator LED will glow orange. Next, restart your imagiCharm by long pressing the on/off button.

If you are still experiencing problems after these steps, contact us at support@imagilabs.com for further assistance.

The box contains the imagiCharm, string, bead, micro USB charging cable and instructions (inside the lid).

Currently, the imagiCharm is available only in standard white/pale turquoise color. New and exciting covers are in development!

Clean the surface of the imagiCharm with a soft, damp cloth. Do NOT use any solvents, chemicals or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives.

Insert the micro USB cable into the imagiCharm’s charging port. If needed, loosen the strap to get better access to the USB port. While the device is charging, the indicator LED will glow orange. When the device is fully charged (approximately in about 2 hours), the indicator LED will glow green.

Please check whether the USB cable is firmly inserted into the imagiCharm’s USB port. If you have alternative USB cables available, you can try using them instead. You should also try different charging ports, for example a computer’s USB port or a USB wall charger. Make sure the charger is rated 5V and at least 500mA.
You can check if your charger is functional by using it to charge another device, if you have one available.
If nothing works, your product may be faulty. Please contact us at support@imagilabs.com or further support.

The imagiCharm's battery lasts for 6 hours with average use.

Yes, you can use the imagi app without the imagiCharm and still have access to the tutorials and the in-app community. However, you will not be able to wear your awesome creations unless you have an imagiCharm.

After pressing the "Run" button in the code editor, a message appears in green if the code is correct or in red if there is an error (a bug) in the code. The message should give you a hint for what is wrong. If you are not able to find it or fix it on your own, ask our Discord community for help.

After successfully running your code, tap the pink "Preview" button, optionally customize the border and background of your design, tap "Publish" and then pick a border color and any labels with hashtags. This will make your project appear in the Explore section of the app.

Clicking "share" will bring you to share your project outside of imagi.

Yes! You can save project by pressing the "Save" button in the code editor. You can give a descriptive name to your project so that later you can easily find it among your other saved projects in the list in the Create section of the app.

Yes! Clicking 👀 will let you see their code, and 🌀 will let you remix their project (which brings a copy to your own drafts that automatically credits the original coder).

Seasons are sequential, meaning that you will have to complete the levels in order to unlock the next one. If you are stuck on one of them, ask our Discord community for help.

✅ imagi Edu is designed for teachers to create classrooms, manage students, and teach Python with our lessons. Kids cannot create their own accounts here for safety and compliance reasons.

❌ (OUR PREVIOUS WEB APP IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE -- it includes the core functionalities of the mobile imagi app, allowing you to write and run code, upload your projects to the imagiCharm, and save them. The app is currently in open beta and can be accessed here. If you have any bug reports or feedback, please reach out to support@imagilabs.com.)

imagi Edu works best when used with the latest version of Google Chrome, on either Mac OS/ Windows/ Chrome OS machines. Other web browsers generally work as well. Machines running Linux are normally not a problem either, but some users have experienced trouble connecting to imagiCharms from a Linux operating system.

imagi Edu also has tablet compatibility -- find it on your Android device or iPad in the relevant app store!

Internet is required.

Bluetooth must be turned on with your computer or tablet.

After clicking on the “Upload to imagiCharm” button, you should be able to see your charm in a pop-up. If you don’t, and your machine supports Bluetooth and has Bluetooth switched on, then there are a few things you can try: turning Bluetooth off and back on, turning your imagiCharm off and back on, refreshing the web app. Following the instructions in this order should allow you to then connect to the imagiCharm. If not, please reach out to support@imagilabs.com.
