Hi there. Congrats on the launch. I see a Google Play Store icon in the home page but the link is broken. Do you have an Android version that we can try? Thanks.

@pezzin Great question! Yes, we do have an Android app and it seems like on desktop you need to be signed in on Google Play for the link to work. You can also try to open the link on an Android phone.

@pezzin and I should also add that the reason we only linked the iOS app here is because that is our flagship app. The Android app has the core features (code editor, community where users can share their projects and interact with other users, connectivity feature which allows the app to connect to the imagiCharm, our hardware product), but it is missing the learning games. These learning games are our newest feature and they are so far only available on iOS, but we hope to add them to the Android app as well soon!

@beatricius thanks for the reply. I am always logged in into the browser on my desktop. Even searching in the store via an Android phone the app does not appear. Did you set up a geographic limitation? I am based in Italy. Thanks.

@pezzin Hi Christian! It seems we've been experiencing some trouble with our Google Play listing, and thank you so much for flagging this! If you fill out this form we will let you know as soon as the Android app is available to test again (should be by the end of this week): https://forms.gle/uZhTuHsDxZsSLG4k8

Hi Dora, congratulations for launching this wonderfull app. Just a quick question to ?makers, why are you only targetting girls? This question is for my own knowledge's sake. Good luck for your future endeavours. Thanks

@naveed_rehman Hi Naveed, thank you for reaching out with this really important question! We believe that in order for girls and women to have an equal chance at shaping the future, they need to be equally involved in tech! Our goal is to encourage girls' interest in tech, which is why we build our products with and for girls, but they're used by kids of all genders, and also very happy parents. You can find out more about our mission of getting more girls interested in tech here: https://imagilabs.com/pages/abou...

@naveed_rehman crucial question! Adding on to what Paula said, secondary school teachers who we approach note that there is an obvious gap in STEM engagement. Research in Sweden and US (and probably globally) shows that pre-teens and kids under 11 do not yet have such gendered stereotypes around technology, so we chose to capture girls' interest then so that they are more likely to pursue tech-related courses and careers in their future. We create a safe space for girls/nonbinary kids at a pivotal age, when they begin to define themselves!

With great coding apps like this, you need to consider how to put them in the hands of the people who need them most - who is dropping out the leaky sieve? Thinking about go-to market strategy, does imagi mostly help kids who would have been supported learning to code anyway by their tech-savvy parents?. Have you considered distribution via teachers / libraries / community groups to try and broaden reach and capture those with greater disadvantage? (NB I sit on the board of the largest STEM education charity in the UK and we know the most powerful influence to change young people's opportunities - after their parents - are their teachers)

@thehonrosie excellet point! In fact we have been working hard to onboard partners who could help us reach kids whose parents aren't actively encouraging them to code! For example we have worked with Stemettes in the UK and Black Girls Code in the US. It would be great to chat regarding your thoughts on distribution! I just reached out on LinkedIn 🙏

@thehonrosie your idea is similar to our long-term growth goals — to truly make tech accessible, we need to make sure our tools get into the hands of diverse kids. I am eager to understand public school and nonprofit educators’ resources and capacities, and work with their relevant decision makers to be able to offer our app, curriculum, teacher training, and hardware to the most students possible! We aim to improve our web app and one day have offline apps too. As Dora mentioned, to date we have collaborated with over 30 educational partners (ranging from Girl Scouts councils to classrooms in Stockholm suburbs to immigrant-focused nonprofits in various countries). We would love to learn from those in your network, and from you about how your UK charity supports STEM activities, so let’s chat further :)

Has been so impressive to watch Dora build Imagi. We first met when she did a talk at my conference (here if anyone wants to watch https://youtu.be/052nUdX8gz8) and they've been growing no end since. Inspiring girls to code is such an important mission, and I really like the way they are able to do this to young girls when it really matters, by making them see the fun in programming (in my opinion this is how you really get girls excited about a path in programming later in life). My 4 year old daughter Nora is starting early and loves it already!

Keep up the good work!

@dora_palfi Indeed. I can't wait till she gets older and starts the more advanced stuff. I love how your tutorials gets progressively ore advanced like that. Actually when I think back to where my own joy for computing came from my dad used to let me play with a bunch of old BBC Micros (jeez I sound old!) and I used to make music by programming notes into arrays etc into the terminal. I think if girls are shown programming is fun in a young enough age it's the key to getting way more interest in after years. Great work and keep it up!

Such a great way to spark kid's imagination and sharpen their thinking. I wish I had this as a kid instead of playing Sneak on Nokia.

@remus_pop1 What if we get this generation of kids to play snake on imagiCharms? And then to code their own games from the imagi app?

Report

@beatricius that's a great plan. maybe a first step would be to get them to tailor the snake haha before moving onto their own games. Back in my days I wish sometimes I could have changed the size and speed of that damn snake..

@remus_pop1 That's exactly what we are thinking. Start with customizing colors, very basic elements of the game and make it really easy so anyone can do it. And then step by step, learn how to make bigger changes up to the point where you can even create your own games!

I really want to like this but what is the deal with an Android add? Is there one or not? On here it says Apple/IOS but then the website displays both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. However when I click on the Google Playstore I am taking to a 404... I have an 8 year old girl that would love to check this out however we aren't an Apple family and never will be.

@daniel_schoonover Hi Daniel! Apologies for that, our Android app is in open beta and we've been experiencing some issues with Google Play! If you sign up here we will let you know as soon as it is available to install again: https://forms.gle/zifKEYKGoT51hYhb7. It isn't as gamified as our iOS app, but is still a really fun creative and learning tool!
