iEARN has been linking schools internationally since 1988.
In that year, the Copen Family Foundation, under the leadership of Peter Copen, linked 12 schools in Moscow with 12 schools in New York State in a pioneering demonstration that education can be enhanced and the quality of life on the planet improved if young people are given the opportunity to use telecommunications technologies to collaborate on projects.
Based on the successful project work completed between 1990 and 1994, iEARN opened its network worldwide and is now active in more than 33,000 schools and youth organizations in over 125 countries. Over 2,000,000 students each day are engaged in collaborative project work.
