The Institute of Imagination (iOi) is a well-established and pioneering education charity. We work with parents, teachers, youth and community leaders and academics, designing and delivering creative workshops across the arts, sciences and digital technologies (STEAM) for children aged 5-11 years old. These experiences empower children today to believe they can build a just, fair and sustainable world tomorrow.

What do we do?

At the iOi we are all about schools, families, and communities. We design and deliver award-winning learning experiences for children aged 5 to 11 years old.

The iOi Schools Programme is a creative learning experience for KS1 & KS2 that builds skills such as confidence, creative thinking, collaboration and curiosity, as well as literacies such as engineering, digital literacy, and coding skills.

My Big Idea: Children & Family Workshop Day, allowing children to bring their ideas to life using STEAM. Join us on 28th October at East Ham Library for My Big Idea. Children will use junk modelling, take part in LEGO play activities and try coding Virtual Reality (VR), followed by a children’s showcase and a goody bag of creative activities to continue the fun at home.

On iOi at Home you can watch, experience and discover how iOi can spark imagination and inspire creativity through learning. Our on demand content enables families and schools to continue making no matter where they are.
