Why Story-Based
Learning?
By utilizing animation, relatable language, popular music, and gamification, we can engage students on an unprecedented level. Students who have used Urban Technology have demonstrated improvements in social skills, emotional and physical health, digital literacy, financial education, and various other subjects.
Our standards-based curriculum adapts to the needs of the students. It prepares them for 21st-century careers while supporting teachers and parents to improve student education.

Our online Youth Leadership Academy modules, developed for grades 4 -12, are engaging programs for students to develop social, emotional, and communication skills while building a 21st-century digital
literacy experience.
