The future of learning

We empower children around the globe to build the literacy and numeracy skills needed to achieve their full potential.

All children have immense potential, but hundreds of millions lack access to the learning they need — especially refugees and other marginalized children.
Imagine Worldwide believes child-directed, tech-enabled learning can deliver foundational literacy and numeracy skills to these children — increasing their educational opportunities and improving their long-term health, wealth, and social outcomes.
Their tablet-based learning solutions work in any setting (school, community, or home), do not require internet connectivity, and can be charged via solar power. Software is a research-based full curriculum that is adaptive and appropriate for local context. Children drive their own learning at their own pace and annual unit cost is less than $7 per child and declining.
Imagine Worldwide has a rigorous research program to confirm what works, for whom, and under what conditions. A recent 13-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) with children in Malawi showed significant learning impacts despite significant disruptions due to COVID.
Imagine Worldwide is laser-focused on scale — increasing access, affordability, and efficacy of their solutions to drive greater adoption. They also increase impact by sharing research findings with their software and implementation partners ensuring a continuous improvement process.
In addition to student learning gains, their projects provide infrastructure (electricity, storage/security) and capacity (training of teachers, local partner staff, and community members) as well as awareness and exposure to digital technologies. These systems and processes are essential building blocks to launch any subsequent edtech initiatives. The hardware (like solar cages) will also provide renewable energy for over 20+ years and promote wider adoption of renewable energy in the community.
