Play with purpose
Our school system has not changed in over 200 years—--since we transitioned from farms to factories during the Industrial Revolution. As a consequence, students wonder why they are learning for an age that no longer exists. The answer? Emagination Island.
What is Emagination Island?
A learning adventure system. A cause to champion. A way to play with purpose.
Meet the young people who are building a new way to learn.
Come ride our hot air balloon and learn to play with purpose! Emaginieer Eileen made this for our website!
When we heard in some underprivileged communities in America, there is only one age-appropriate book per 830 kids, we dreamt of offering our kid-created books in an ice-cream truck bookmobile! Our teen Emagineer Avril made this!
A boy returns from school…
...discouraged as he just failed his anatomy test. However, a secret message from our Emagineers gives him hope! This animation sequence was originally created for a project that won top 20 in North America from a Steven Spielberg humanitarian contest. Our teen Emagineer, Ian Shang, spent 100 hours animating the full two minute segment with his left hand after accidentally falling on his track spike cleats and stabbing his right one! Our teen Emagineer Avril Jensen has amended and added to Ian's footage to help us tell the story of Emagination Island.
