Imagine the World We Can Build!

Join the movement to find, foster and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world.

Our programs are designed to help people anywhere in the world bring the power of Creative Play to their own communities. We work with students, educators, parents, artists, scientists, and business and nonprofit leaders – it’s a growing community of thousands of volunteers who are inspired to develop the natural creative talents of kids in their own neighborhoods and across the globe.

Spread Our Stories

Help us grow the Imagination community and spread the value of Creative Play. Share our stories! If you haven’t already, watch and share Caine’s Arcade and Caine’s Arcade 2. And if The Storybook project interests you, share the stories with friends and colleagues. They are meant to inspire, as well as introduce new ideas and resources for you to make a positive impact on your own communities. Take a look at some of our current stories, and spread the news!

Start an Imagination Chapter

In fall of 2014, we launched the Imagination Chapters Pilot Program at 30 different sites–including Chapters in Capetown, Bogota, Mostar and Manchester. Chapters take place both in and out of school. Each Chapter serves roughly 20 children over 9 months. We will be adding 100 new Chapters for 2015-16 Chapters.

To learn more about starting a Chapter in your community, please write to: chapters@imagination.is.

Host a Cardboard Challenge

This is a simple and fun way to bring Creative Play to your community. This fall, our 4th Annual Global Cardboard Challenge invites kids around the world to design and build awesome creations using cardboard, recycled materials and imagination. The Challenge culminates in a global day of play on October 10th, 2015 bringing communities together to celebrate the creativity and imagination of kids everywhere.

Mark your calendars and sign up for updates as we gear up for the 2015 Global Cardboard Challenge. We’ll send you resources, invite you to Hangouts and let you know when Registration officially opens.
