About us
During COVID 19, iUrban Teen launched the robust online learning program for STEM+Arts education, iUrbanTeen Online. Teens from across the globe continued to learn in an interactive, engaging and free online experience. iUrbanTeen Online offered a wide variety of educational content, including animation, anthropology, entrepreneurship, science, languages like Spanish, French, or Arabic, biology, math instruction and support, and more. Best of all, our classes were free for everyone. A highly popular creative and technical writing class, now called The Writing Club, is still going and growing with new members coming on board for the 2023-2024 year.
