Have your students’ code creatively across the curriculum, with a little help from imagi’s new AI-powered Debugging Buddy!
Are you ready to combine the power of Python with your students’ interests and favorite subjects in school? Join imagi’s #CodewithAIChallenge, a fun and interactive coding challenge designed to empower students to create pixel art projects using Python, with the help of imagi’s AI-powered Debugging Buddy.
From October 1st through October 18th, 2024 we’re inviting students to code their way across different subjects like math, science, history, and more! Whether it’s visualizing math concepts, coding scenes from history, or even representing a favorite book character or sports team, this challenge encourages students to think outside the box and see how coding can enhance their learning across the curriculum.
Choose a Challenge (or have students come up with their own!):
- Math Magic: Create a representation of a math concept you're learning in class—whether it's geometric shapes, fractions, or exponents.
- Code the Cosmos: Turn your favorite science topic into art. Portray a plant's life cycle, the solar system, the phases of the moon, or a chemical reaction.
- History Highlights: Recreate a historical landmark, event, or flag using pixel art. Write code that brings a moment from history to life.
- Pixel Picasso: Create a masterpiece inspired by your favorite artist or artistic style - from impressionism to abstract art.
- Language Bytes: Learning a new language? Code a keyword or symbol like a French flag or Spanish greeting, or program your own flashcards.
- Creative Characters: Bring your favorite book character to life! Whether it's a wizard, detective, or hero from your reading list.
- Musical Masterpieces: Represent your favorite song, instrument, or musical note and use blink rate to have your creation blink to the rhythm.
- Eco Coders: Spread awareness by reflecting an environmental issue like deforestation, ocean pollution, or renewable energy sources.
- Programmer Playoffs: Turn your favorite sport into a coding challenge! Represent team logos, scoreboards, or stats from your favorite players.
- Tech Entrepreneur: Think like an entrepreneur by coding your own unique business logo, branding your dream startup with creativity and code!

Plus, you’ll have our AI-powered Debugging Buddy, available for free until October 18th for all imagi Edu users, to guide your students through the process, making it easier to learn coding while creating art with Python. This is the perfect way to introduce students to the world of coding in a fun, engaging way, while helping them build cross-curricular and career connections.
