Why Should You Join?
Computer Science education is more important than ever, but many teachers feel underprepared to teach CS or may not see themselves as techy savvy. That’s where imagi comes in! Our Creative Coding in Python course is designed specifically for educators in Grades 3 to 8, helping you build the confidence and skills to introduce CS and computational thinking in an engaging and accessible way.
With imagi’s text-based coding approach, educators at any skill level can seamlessly learn and transition into Python programming. You’ll learn how to use colorful pixel art, creative projects, and interactive tools to make CS education and computational thinking informative, accessible and fun for students, especially those who, like many teachers, may not initially see themselves as “techy”.
This course is open to all educators, whether you are new to imagi or familiar with it. Designed for beginners, it will strengthen your understanding of Python, AI integration, and project-based learning, as well as provide lesson plans, assessments, and effective CS teaching strategies. No prior coding experience is required, and the course is accessible to all educators. It covers Python fundamentals and creative coding techniques step by step.
This beginner-friendly Professional Development (PD) course is ideal for:
-
Educators new to coding looking to start with Python in an engaging way.
-
Teachers with some coding experience want to deepen their knowledge and integrate Python and AI.
-
Any educator aiming to bring creativity, inclusion, and innovation to their CS instruction.
