imagi Entrepreneurship Challenge
Between March 25-April 5, we’re encouraging students to think like entrepreneurs and use their Python skills to create a logo for a business that will positively impact their community! Teachers can sign in or sign up for imagi Edu to create student accounts and access free lesson content to get started.
Tips for Getting Started
Entrepreneurship Challenge
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it free to participate in the challenge?
It’s free to register for imagi Edu, create student accounts in one classroom, and participate in this challenge! We offer free lesson content to help you introduce your students to Python and entrepreneurship within the imagi Edu platform.
What if my students and I are new to coding? Can we still participate in the challenge?
Absolutely. Our tools have a low barrier to entry and many educators using imagi tools are new to programming. We are also always here to help! Send us a note if you have questions at education@imagilabs.com.
How can I incorporate the challenge into my curriculum?
Our content aligns with CSTA, ISTE, and the curriculum standards from several US states. View our alignment documents in the For Teachers section of our website. Our Entrepreneurship lesson also has students planning, writing, researching, and presenting their ideas, so there is also alignment across different subjects beyond just computer science.
Is there a prize for participating in the challenge?
We believe all kids should be celebrated for their coding and their creativity, so we’ll be highlighting as many classroom projects as possible on our social channels and in a special blog post following the challenge. Also, with educator permission, classrooms can earn a virtual classroom visit with one of the original the imagi Entrepreneurs!
Which devices can my students use for the challenge?
imagi Edu is designed for use on Chromebooks, tablets (iOS and Android), and other internet-connected laptops. If your students have iPads or Android tablets, please visit your relevant app store to download imagi Edu. Our web platform edu.imagilabs.com works with any browser, but please note that Bluetooth needs to be enabled for imagiCharms to connect. We recommend Chrome!
Can I collaborate with a co-teacher during this challenge?
Yes, the newest version of imagi Edu allows for educators with an imagi Edu Pro license to co-manage classrooms.
Is the imagi Edu platform safe for kids (GDPR/COPPA compliance)?
Yes, it is safe! Educators generate and manage all student accounts, and we do not collect any identifiable information from students within imagi Edu (real names, emails, etc. are not required). We also do not currently connect with any learning management systems. Read more here.
I’d like to purchase extra imagiCharms for my students to use during the challenge. How can I do that?
