A letter from Intelligena LLC
About Us
Dear future scientists and engineers,
Somewhere right now, a kid is taking a radio apart just to see how it works. Another is sketching a robot in the margin of a maths worksheet. Another is wondering why code that looks right still refuses to run. If that sounds like you, this letter is for you.
We are Intelligena LLC, a small California company that builds software. We are dedicated to the education of technically creative young people, and we started building the sites you are visiting because of one belief: genius is spread evenly across the world, but access to knowledge is not. Talent is never the thing that is missing. What is missing, too often, is a good teacher, a working laptop, an expensive kit, or simply someone saying yes, you can learn this, and here is where to begin.
We wanted to give back in a way that matters, and for a company like ours that means the thing we know how to do. Not a slogan and not a donation box, but real tools and real lessons, built with care and put where anyone with a browser can use them, so that a young person with a big idea can get the knowledge to make it real.
What Yomomi is, and how you use it
Yomomi is a free website where students learn to program in Python and C++, one hour-long lesson at a time. It is built for school Chromebooks: there is nothing to install.
- Learn by doing. Each lesson teaches one idea and asks you to write real code. Press Run to try it, or Check examples to see whether it passes, instantly, in your own browser.
- Get graded fairly. When you press Submit, our server runs your code against hidden tests and records the result. The curriculum follows the exam objectives of the Python Institute’s PCEP and PCAP certifications.
- Keep your progress. See how far you have come on every course and download a certificate when you finish a lesson.
- Teachers can create a class, share a join code, and see a gradebook, a heatmap of where the class is stuck, each student’s submissions, and a CSV export.
Our promise to you
- We will keep building for you. Every lesson, exercise and tool here exists for a young person to learn something they could not do yesterday.
- We will be honest about how it works, including what we collect and why. We never sell personal information, and you can read every policy in plain view under All policies.
- We will listen. If something is confusing, broken or missing, tell us at support@yomomi.com. A student's complaint is the most useful thing we can receive.
You will make mistakes here, and that is the point. Every engineer whose work you admire has debugged something at midnight that would not behave. Keep going. The world has problems that are waiting for exactly the way you think, and we cannot wait to see what you build.
With admiration, and with hope,
Intelligena LLC
P.S. To the teachers and parents reading over a student’s shoulder: thank you. You are the reason any of this works.
