Yes! No previous programming experience is needed. The imagi coding game (at home use), imagi Edu (for teachers and schools), and the imagiCharm all have a low barrier to entry and provide endless opportunities to learn and teach Python.

We offer a free coding game for iPhone and iPad, so kids can learn to code at home, a web platform and app available for iPad and Android tablets for educators in schools (imagi Edu), and programmable hardware (imagiCharm)! In our imagi Edu platform for schools, we also offer a standards-aligned creative coding curriculum with Google Slides and worksheets to empower teachers to teach Python.

We started imagi to inspire young girls to fall in love with coding, but now our tools are used by thousands of kids ages 8-14+ and their teachers around the world! Everyone is welcome to learn to code with us!

We love involving our community in everything we do! If you are looking to join our team, you can submit an interest form here. 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.
