We train teachers nationwide to integrate arts and technology into their classrooms, empowering students to succeed in STEAM.
In partnership with schools and educators, Urban Arts offers innovative workshops, evidence-based curriculum and cutting edge technology that allow teachers to foster students’ creative and technical skills.
Urban Arts’ Creative Coders program provides professional development and resources for middle school teachers to teach introductory computer science through Minecraft for Education and game design. The program includes a custom curriculum that engages students of all levels through creative, interactive pedagogy, equipping teachers to effectively support diverse learners.
Urban Arts’ College Board Endorsed program, Game On, equips high school computer science (CS) teachers with the tools and support they need to effectively teach the AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course. Through this professional development program, teachers learn to implement an engaging, project-based curriculum that empowers students to master CS concepts. Students not only prepare for the AP CSP exam but also develop games featuring original art, music, and storytelling.
Current Game On teachers may access resources here.
