Every child has a story worth telling.
Where literacy, the arts, and computational thinking meet: K–12 students turn what they learn into interactive projects they write, design, and code. Our mission is to raise readers, writers, revisers, and makers who learn computer science along the way.
Why we built it
Kids are writing less — and liking it less. Not because they have nothing to say, but because school writing has one reader and one outcome: the teacher, and a grade.
So we changed what schoolwork becomes. On Elementari, a reading and first draft become something students can build — written, illustrated, coded, narrated in their own voices — and share with real readers. The project earns an audience; the audience earns another draft. The coding, the art, the computer science? Learned along the way, while making something worth sharing.
That’s the whole idea: blur the line between the humanities and the sciences until girls, storytellers, artists — and plenty of teachers — find themselves coding, and kids who’d never pick up a pencil find themselves writing.
What we believe
Used by teachers in literacy, arts, and coding curriculums, with lessons aligned to Common Core, NGSS, CSTA, ISTE, and AASL standards.
The team
A small team of educators, engineers, and artists who’ve stood in front of a classroom and know what a lesson has to survive. Every feature ships because a teacher needed it.
