For educators

Writing they love. Coding they're proud to share.

Assign a ready-to-teach lesson in any subject. Students make the project their own through writing, design, and code—with guided steps and no coding experience needed.

Real instruction

They think they're playing. It's a real lesson.

A high-interest reading builds background knowledge. Then guided Studio steps help students connect, write, design, and code — while you see progress and where support is needed.

Creative choice & access

The project is set. They make it their own.

The lesson sets the format. Students make creative choices within it—through text, voice, images, music, and code—while built-in supports help them keep moving.

They build together—in their own voice.

The lesson provides the structure; the ideas, creative choices, and collaboration come from students. They work alongside classmates and respond to one another’s projects.

✍️

Their own voice

Within the lesson’s structure, students decide what to say and how to express it through writing, visuals, narration, sound, and code.

🤝

Create together

Team up to write and code one project in real time, chatting as they build — no more "wait your turn."

💬

Peer review

Students read and comment on classmates’ projects inside the classroom—a feedback loop that gives revision a purpose.

Teacher-approved—and worth sharing.

FAQ

Common questions from teachers.

Do my students need accounts or email addresses?
No emails required. Create student accounts directly, sync a Google Classroom roster with one click, or import from Clever/ClassLink. Students log in with a username.
Do I — or my students — need to know how to code?
No, on both counts. The Studio Compass names the exact block for each lesson step, and guided steps self-check as students complete them. Students see what comes next while you focus support where it is needed. Coding concepts are introduced in plain language at the moment students use them.
Is Elementari COPPA and FERPA compliant?
Yes. Elementari is COPPA and FERPA compliant. Students never need an email, projects are private by default, and teachers control what's shared or published. See our privacy policy.
Can I keep student work private?
Yes—you stay in control. Published projects require teacher approval, and comments are private to the classroom and can be disabled entirely.
What devices does it work on?
Write and code on iPad, Chromebook, laptop, or desktop, and read on any device including mobile. No downloads or installs — just a modern web browser.
What does it cost?
Free to start with unlimited students — we never charge per student. Paid plans are priced per teacher; schools and districts are quote-based with free professional development included.
