The National Urban Technology Center (Urban Tech) is a social enterprise committed to changing the game in education. We create solutions for students that recognize their value to society, their stories, ideas, and dreams regardless of their background. By utilizing animation, relatable language, popular music and interactive games Urban Tech is able to engage students on an unprecedented level.
Students who have used Urban Technology have demonstrated improvements when it comes to social skills, emotional and physical health, digital literacy, financial education, and a variety of other subjects. Our standards-based curriculum adapts to the needs of the students and prepares them for 21st century careers while providing support to teachers and parents in an effort to improve student education. Our online modules, developed for children K-12, are engaging programs for youth that develop social, emotional, and communication skills while building 21st century digital literacy experience. We started 21 years ago in Bed-stuy, Brooklyn, and have since expanded across the nation.
