ImaginGO Platform
The ImaginGO Platform is an easy-to-use, web-based system that delivers Creative Problem-Based Learning exercises for your Creative and STEAM curriculum.
Simple To Use
One of the many great things about ImaginGO is that it requires no prep work. Students only need a piece of paper and something to write with. When we say it is as easy as “just pressing a button”, we really mean it!

How Does It Work?
ImaginGO is collaborative and involves the entire classroom. It is led by an instructor, teacher or creative coach using a large screen at the front of the classroom – like a projector, large monitor or interactive whiteboard.
Students work both individually and as a group to complete the ImaginGO exercises
GOGOs
ImaginGO is broken into smaller components called GOGOs. Each GOGO uses a different method to kick-start imaginations and generate more innovative, original, and improved ideas.
Leonardo's Inventci
Student’s are presented simple, yet challenging scenarios that require invention(s) to improve it.
10 or Less
The exercise starts simply with a photo. Students must write a micro-fiction using less than 10 words.
Hachoogie!
A random sound is played to the class. Students must think what the sound COULD be not what the sound actually IS.
Brain Space
Students must fill in the “visual blanks” and communicate a story at the same time. Brain Space offers three varieties: Image, Shapes and Squiggles as triggers.
Wordinski
New words are constructed and students must develop the meaning of the word.
Themo
Students connect emotions to a random piece of music followed by constructing characters and stories based off of their emotions/characters.
Creative Process
Current and future GOGOs will typically the following ImaginGO CPBL Process. The process was developed based off of years of creativity research that shows the benefits of Divergent and Convergent thinking to stimulate creativity.
- Step 1: Introduction of GOGO and Method
- Step 2: Divergent Thinking / Brainstorming
- Step 3: Collaboration
- Step 4: Convergent Thinking, Narrow Down Ideas
- Step 5: Develop a Single Idea
- Step 6: Communicate, Present, Explain
Set aside, at least, 45 minutes per week for ImaginGO
Requirements & More
Content on the ImaginGO platform is continually updated. This means new GOGOs, new GOGO content and even new Creative Problem-Based Learning methods and insights for teachers are added regularly.
We designed ImaginGO to be engaging and fun for students. It looks and sounds like a video game, but unlike video games, we want to draw the focus of students from the screen to their imaginations and finally to their papers in front of them.
