Urban Arts is opening doors to the trillion-dollar tech industry by using game design as a powerful pathway to college and career. We equip students from low-income communities with essential computer science skills, creative confidence, and real-world readiness—harnessing the power of play to inspire learning and innovation.
As a national leader in STEAM education, our programs reach students, teachers, and schools with culturally responsive curricula, professional development, and resources that promote equity and opportunity. Endorsed by the College Board and supported by the U.S. Department of Education, Urban Arts is preparing the next generation to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
