Empowering Classrooms with imagi: Creative Coding That Clicks

At WhyMaker, we’re always on the lookout for educational tools that inspire creativity, encourage collaboration, and connect learning to the real world. That’s why we’re so excited to spotlight imagi as our Vendor of the Month.

From pixel art to Python, imagi makes it easy (and fun!) for students to learn how to code—whether they’re brand new to computer science or ready to level up their skills. imagi’s intuitive platform, hands-on hardware, and thoughtful curriculum are transforming classrooms across the globe, and we’re proud to bring their offerings directly to educators through our online shop.

 

Why imagi Works for Educators

Earlier this year, imagi surveyed teachers across the world to learn how their tools are showing up in classrooms. The results confirmed what we’ve seen firsthand:

• imagi engages students who may not see themselves as “techy”
  
• imagi supports cross-curricular learning in math, art, STEM, and more
  
• imagi empowers both experienced CS teachers and beginners
  
• imagi makes coding visual, joyful, and tangible
  
  

“All my students showed interest and were able to be creative while making connections to their math learning, especially with concepts like the x and y axis.”

Teachers shared how imagi helped build student confidence, boosted collaboration, and made abstract concepts come alive with colorful LED projects. One teacher even said their students were working on their pixel art animations after class—just because they wanted to!

 

Flexible for All Learning Environments

From afterschool clubs to large classroom packs, imagi makes it easy to scale creative coding across a school or district. Whether you're teaching Python in a computer science class or introducing digital storytelling through art or math, imagi tools help bring concepts to life.

Not sure where to start? imagi’s platform includes over 50 hours of curriculum, a teacher dashboard, and AI-powered debugging—all designed to support educators at any level of experience.
