"I said, teach me to code, and I'll build it myself," says Garrison. "Just show me how it's done. Because I think as an artist today when you're faced with a challenge in technology you've got to break it and push it.""I've always been fascinated with computers and technology," says Garrison. "Now I understand how to get inside them to really develop a digital texture to the ways of presenting music. I think we're one of the few music venues that actually builds code on site."

"I wanted to make something for little me!" says John. "All my male coder friends had learned when they were kids, and it had not been something on my radar. I wanted to change that for the next generation.""It was amazing getting to work at the new Apple campus and having access to all the resources there," says John. "I think my favorite part was when I got to work on a bug in web GL with the actual engineer who maintains it for Apple."

"Studies have found that at the age of twelve, boys and girls share a similar interest in computer science," says Dora Palfi, imagiLabs's CEO and founder.

We believe this is due to a lack of relevant activities created with, and for girls. Our app and the imagiCharm can fill this gap."
