Every student has something worth making.
Elementari brings subject learning, literacy, the arts, and computational thinking into one creative process. Students read to learn, draft to think, then design and code something worth sharing.
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 a draft becomes. On Elementari, student writing turns into something that moves—illustrated, coded, and narrated in the student's own voice—then reaches a teacher-approved audience. The project earns attention; that audience gives revision a purpose. The coding, art, and computer science are 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.
